Re: #48332 [Opn->Bgs]: Why are regular expressions mentioned in the section about double quoted string

It means, quite simply that one could write the string "Hello" in the form "\110\145\154\154\157" whereas '\110\145\154\154\157' (note single quotes) would contain those literal characters. The same goes for the hexadecimal representation of characters ("H" === "\x48"). 2009/5/19 <rquadling@php.net>: >  ID:          48332 >  Updated by:  rquadling@php.net >  Reported By: jward at crinet dot com > -Status:      Open > +Status:      Bogus >  Bug Type:    Documentation problem >  PHP Version: Irrelevant >  New Comment: > > The regular expression is describing how to write an octal number. > > \0 to \777 > > > > > Previous Comments: > ------------------------------------------------------------------------ > > [2009-05-19 14:10:28] jward at crinet dot com > > Description: > ------------ > Why are regular expressions mentioned in the section about double > quoted string? > On what string do the regex operate on?
