Edit report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=63650&edit=1 ID: 63650 Updated by: salathe@php.net Reported by: davidbruchmann at gmail dot com Summary: wrong regex for comments Status: Not a bug Type: Documentation Problem Package: Documentation problem PHP Version: Irrelevant Block user comment: N Private report: N New Comment: Perhaps you could offer your own addition(s). https://edit.php.net/?perm=/en/reference.pcre.pattern.syntax.php&project=PHP Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2012-11-29 18:55:37] davidbruchmann at gmail dot com right and it isn't 100% clear what is meant. Additionally I thought comments of a file could be filtered with that expression, fact is that it doesn't work like that and the expression is for some other purpose, so the whole explanation isn't clear even if the closing parenthesis would be added. An example would be nice. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2012-11-29 18:27:48] salathe@php.net The full sentence reads, "The sequence (?# marks the start of a comment which continues up to the next closing parenthesis." ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2012-11-29 14:53:02] davidbruchmann at gmail dot com Description: ------------ --- From manual page: http://www.php.net/regexp.reference.comments --- its said: "The sequence (?# marks ..." Thats wrong cause the sequence / expression has to be closed. Correct is: "The sequence (?#) marks ..." ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=63650&edit=1
