For a list of more appropriate places to ask for help using PHP, please visit http://www.php.net/support.php as this bug system is not the appropriate forum for asking support questions. Due to the volume of reports we can not explain in detail here why your report is not a bug. The support channels will be able to provide an explanation for you. Thank you for your interest in PHP. The third parameter is definitely optional. You have another problem in your code. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2012-07-20 09:35:11] adax2000 at gmail dot com Description: ------------ --- From manual page: http://www.php.net/function.preg-match-all#refsect1-function.preg-match-all-description --- third param in preg_match_all is required and omitting it will get you false on return in contrary to documation that states it's optional, what's strange in preg_match it's not required ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=62618&edit=1
