Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2007-11-21 03:05:33] carsten_sttgt at gmx dot de 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 this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=43355&edit=1
