Doc #68943 [NEW]: Error in documentation for preg_replace

From: kalimatas at gmail dot com Operating system: PHP version: Irrelevant Package: PCRE related Bug Type: Documentation Problem Bug description:Error in documentation for preg_replace Description: ------------ --- From manual page: http://www.php.net/function.preg-replace --- In the example #2 for preg_replace there is a wrong output for the first case (before sorting arrays). It says the output will be: The slow black bear jumped over the lazy dog. But actually it should be: The bear black slow jumped over the lazy dog. Test script: --------------- <?php $string = 'The quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dog.'; $patterns = array(); $patterns[0] = '/quick/'; $patterns[1] = '/brown/'; $patterns[2] = '/fox/'; $replacements = array(); $replacements[2] = 'bear'; $replacements[1] = 'black'; $replacements[0] = 'slow'; echo preg_replace($patterns, $replacements, $string); Output according to docs: The slow black bear jumped over the lazy dog. Actual output: The bear black slow jumped over the lazy dog. -- Edit bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=68943&edit=1 -- Try a snapshot (PHP 5.4): https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=68943&r=trysnapshot54 Try a snapshot (PHP 5.5): https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=68943&r=trysnapshot55 Try a snapshot (trunk): https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=68943&r=trysnapshottrunk Fixed in SVN: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=68943&r=fixed Fixed in release: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=68943&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=68943&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=68943&r=needscript Try newer version: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=68943&r=oldversion Not developer issue: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=68943&r=support Expected behavior: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=68943&r=notwrong Not enough info: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=68943&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=68943&r=submittedtwice register_globals: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=68943&r=globals PHP 4 support discontinued: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=68943&r=php4 Daylight Savings: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=68943&r=dst IIS Stability: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=68943&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=68943&r=gnused Floating point limitations: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=68943&r=float No Zend Extensions: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=68943&r=nozend MySQL Configuration Error: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=68943&r=mysqlcfg
