Edit report at http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=54954&edit=1 ID: 54954 Updated by: aharvey@php.net Reported by: benoit dot chenu at gmail dot com Summary: preg_match() returns zero if an error occurred -Status: Open +Status: Feedback Type: Documentation Problem Package: Documentation problem PHP Version: 5.3.6 Block user comment: N Private report: N New Comment: What version of PHP are you getting integer 0 back from preg_match() when the backtrack limit is hit? Everything I have to hand is returning boolean false, which is what I'd expect.

If an error occurs (like reaching pcre.backtrack_limit), preg_match doesn't return FALSE as described in the documentation but returns 0. It should be nice to update the documentation. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=54954&edit=1
