#44753 [NEW]: PRCE syntax doc page lacks important information

From: mathieu_microsystem at live dot fr Operating system: Irrelevant PHP version: Irrelevant PHP Bug Type: Documentation problem Bug description: PRCE syntax doc page lacks important information Description: ------------ In the following page: http://php.net/manual/en/regexp.reference.php Nowhere it is indicated that: "The expression should be enclosed in the delimiters, a forward slash (/), for example." (which comes from the intro http://php.net/manual/en/intro.pcre.php ). It is important that this information is restated early on the reference since PRCE regexps are NOT working without such delimiters. Also, "should" should be replaced by "must" in the sentence above, in both files. -- Edit bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=44753&edit=1 -- Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 5.2): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=44753&r=trysnapshot52 Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 5.3): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=44753&r=trysnapshot53 Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 6.0): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=44753&r=trysnapshot60 Fixed in CVS: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=44753&r=fixedcvs Fixed in release: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=44753&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=44753&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=44753&r=needscript Try newer version: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=44753&r=oldversion Not developer issue: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=44753&r=support Expected behavior: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=44753&r=notwrong Not enough info: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=44753&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=44753&r=submittedtwice register_globals: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=44753&r=globals PHP 4 support discontinued: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=44753&r=php4 Daylight Savings: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=44753&r=dst IIS Stability: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=44753&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=44753&r=gnused Floating point limitations: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=44753&r=float No Zend Extensions: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=44753&r=nozend MySQL Configuration Error: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=44753&r=mysqlcfg
