I don't know since which version of PHP, but going by the existing documentation it should have been between 5.2.2 and 5.2.4. Please make note of this in the documentation. Test script: --------------- <?php var_dump(preg_match('/(?<bar>o)\g<bar>/', 'foo')); ?> Actual result: -------------- int(1) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=62428&edit=1
