From: dclayton at serif dot com Operating system: N/A PHP version: Irrelevant PHP Bug Type: Documentation problem Bug description: Regular expression navigation regression Description: ------------ There was a change made to the regular expression documentation recently, whereby it is now 2 clicks to get to the "PCRE" modifiers and syntax. Normally a change like this wouldn't bother me, but regular expressions are a core part of web development and I use them extensively. Whenever I want to look up a regular expression, I often will start at one of the preg_* functions to check the argument order, etc., then go to the regex pattern parts of the documentation to check the expression itself. In summary, this is somewhat subjective but I personally believe moving the pattern modifiers and syntax from the navigation pane you get in the regular expression functions docs was a regression in the site's navigation structure. I would sincerely appreciate it if some way could be found to move them back, as they are vitally useful and it wouldn't surprise me at all if they were one of the busier pages on the site :) Reproduce code: --------------- N/A Expected result: ---------------- N/A Actual result: -------------- N/A -- Edit bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=45256&edit=1 -- Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 5.2): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=45256&r=trysnapshot52 Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 5.3): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=45256&r=trysnapshot53 Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 6.0): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=45256&r=trysnapshot60 Fixed in CVS: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=45256&r=fixedcvs Fixed in release: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=45256&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=45256&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=45256&r=needscript Try newer version: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=45256&r=oldversion Not developer issue: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=45256&r=support Expected behavior: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=45256&r=notwrong Not enough info: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=45256&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=45256&r=submittedtwice register_globals: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=45256&r=globals PHP 4 support discontinued: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=45256&r=php4 Daylight Savings: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=45256&r=dst IIS Stability: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=45256&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=45256&r=gnused Floating point limitations: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=45256&r=float No Zend Extensions: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=45256&r=nozend MySQL Configuration Error: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=45256&r=mysqlcfg
