#50985 [Opn->Bgs]: Backslash not escaped in example while using double qoutes.

ID: 50985 Updated by: degeberg@php.net Reported By: j at sights dot de -Status: Open +Status: Bogus Bug Type: Documentation problem PHP Version: Irrelevant New Comment: Thank you for the report. The \s is not a valid escape sequence in PHP so there is no need for escaping the backslash nor switching to single quotes. You only need to escape a backslash if it would otherwise be regarded as part of an escape sequence, e.g. \\n vs. \n. You can see a list of the escape sequences here: http://www.php.net/manual/en/language.types.string.php#language.types.string.syntax.double Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2010-02-10 02:44:47] j at sights dot de Description: ------------ pattern in example #1 is "/[\s,]+/"... but should be single-quoted or the \ needs to be escaped.
