Doc #50103 [ReO->Fbk]: Outdated information regarding PCRE unicode support

Edit report at http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=50103&edit=1 ID: 50103 Updated by: philip@php.net Reported by: pete_cags at hotmail dot com Summary: Outdated information regarding PCRE unicode support -Status: Re-Opened +Status: Feedback Type: Documentation Problem Package: Documentation problem Operating System: Windows XP 64bit PHP Version: Irrelevant Block user comment: N New Comment: Patch? :) Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2010-05-15 13:24:55] pete_cags at hotmail dot com Sorry it has taken me so long to get back to this, but at the time of reporting it I wasn't confident enough with Regular Expressions to dispute the bogus status. I have now asked for it to be re-opened as I'm confident it isn't bogus. Whilst InMusicalSymbols isn't supported, "Greek" is as are many other script types. The following code demonstrates this (I omitted the output in an attempt to avoid TL:DR). <?php header("Content-Type: text/html; charset=UTF-8"); $chars = array('Φ', 'a', '1'); foreach($chars as $char) { if( preg_match( '#\p{Greek}#u', $char ) ) { echo "{$char} is from the Greek script.<br/>"; } else { echo "{$char} is NOT from the Greek script.<br/>"; } } foreach($chars as $char) { if( preg_match( '#\p{invalid}#u', $char ) ) { echo "{$char} is from the Greek script.<br/>"; } else { echo "{$char} is NOT from the Greek script.<br/>"; } } ?> A full list of supported scripts can be found @ http://www.pcre.org/pcre.txt. If needs be I am happy to create a patch for the documents, but thought it only fair to re-open this bug in case further discussion is required first. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2010-05-15 13:09:53] degeberg@php.net Re-opened by request of submitter. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2009-11-13 16:52:56] vrana@php.net Characters are supported but there is no class for it (like \pL for letters). ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2009-11-06 16:37:32] pete_cags at hotmail dot com Description: ------------ The documentation located... http://www.php.net/manual/en/regexp.reference.unicode.php Contains the following text... "Extended properties such as "Greek" or "InMusicalSymbols" are not supported by PCRE." This is no longer the case as it DOES support Greek (and many other) characters.
