#44753 [Opn->Csd]: PCRE syntax doc page lacks important information

ID: 44753 Updated by: fa@php.net Reported By: mathieu_microsystem at live dot fr -Status: Open +Status: Closed Bug Type: Documentation problem Operating System: Irrelevant PHP Version: Irrelevant New Comment: As you said, it's already on http://www.php.net/manual/en/intro.pcre.php. I'll fix the should -> must though. Thanks for reporting.

(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 this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=44753&edit=1
