#43355 [NEW]: [PCRE] descriptions for new escape sequences are missing

From: carsten_sttgt at gmx dot de Operating system: Irrelevant PHP version: Irrelevant PHP Bug Type: Documentation problem Bug description: [PCRE] descriptions for new escape sequences are missing Description: ------------ Since PHP 5.2.4, the PCRE library bundled with PHP, knows the escape sequences \h, \H, \v, \V, \k and \K. Please add also a note, that this new features can break existing scripts. Regards, Carsten Reproduce code: --------------- http://de.php.net/manual/en/reference.pcre.pattern.syntax.php Expected result: ---------------- \h, \H, \v, and \V match horizontal and vertical whitespace. \k{name} is synonymous with \k<name> and \k'name' \K resets the start of the current match so that everything before is not part of it. Actual result: -------------- The \v escape that was in the Perl documentation for a long time was never in fact recognized. (nothing about \h, \H, \V, \k and \K) -- Edit bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=43355&edit=1 -- Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 4.4): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=43355&r=trysnapshot44 Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 5.2): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=43355&r=trysnapshot52 Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 5.3): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=43355&r=trysnapshot53 Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 6.0): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=43355&r=trysnapshot60 Fixed in CVS: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=43355&r=fixedcvs Fixed in release: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=43355&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=43355&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=43355&r=needscript Try newer version: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=43355&r=oldversion Not developer issue: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=43355&r=support Expected behavior: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=43355&r=notwrong Not enough info: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=43355&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=43355&r=submittedtwice register_globals: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=43355&r=globals PHP 3 support discontinued: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=43355&r=php3 Daylight Savings: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=43355&r=dst IIS Stability: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=43355&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=43355&r=gnused Floating point limitations: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=43355&r=float No Zend Extensions: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=43355&r=nozend MySQL Configuration Error: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=43355&r=mysqlcfg
