Description:
------------
In the documentation for PCRE, Pattern Syntax, there is a bug.
Searching
for "named subpatterns", we find:
"Since PHP 4.3.3, (?1), (?2) and so on can be used for recursive
subpatterns too. It is also possible to use named subpatterns: (?
P>foo)."
The syntax mentioned for named subpatterns is incorrect. The correct
syntax is:
(?P<name>pattern)
Example URL to the documentation: http://us.php.net/manual/en/
reference.pcre.pattern.syntax.php
