Doc #51738 [NEW]: problem with documentation

From: Operating system: Linux PHP version: Irrelevant Package: Documentation problem Bug Type: Documentation Problem Bug description:problem with documentation Description: ------------ This phrase in the documentation is a bit contradictory: "preg_match() returns the number of times pattern matches. That will be either 0 times (no match) or 1 time because preg_match() will stop searching after the first match." The first part says that preg_match returns the number of times a patterne matches, but the second part says that it only returns 0 or 1... I suggest to change it with something like: preg_match() returns either 0 (no match) or 1(at least one match is found), because it will stop searching after the first match. -- Edit bug report at http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=51738&edit=1 -- Try a snapshot (PHP 5.2): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51738&r=trysnapshot52 Try a snapshot (PHP 5.3): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51738&r=trysnapshot53 Try a snapshot (PHP 6.0): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51738&r=trysnapshot60 Fixed in SVN: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51738&r=fixed Fixed in SVN and need be documented: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51738&r=needdocs Fixed in release: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51738&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51738&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51738&r=needscript Try newer version: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51738&r=oldversion Not developer issue: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51738&r=support Expected behavior: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51738&r=notwrong Not enough info: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51738&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51738&r=submittedtwice register_globals: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51738&r=globals PHP 4 support discontinued: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51738&r=php4 Daylight Savings: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51738&r=dst IIS Stability: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51738&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51738&r=gnused Floating point limitations: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51738&r=float No Zend Extensions: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51738&r=nozend MySQL Configuration Error: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51738&r=mysqlcfg
