From: php dot net at web dot wnsr dot net Operating system: Irrelevant PHP version: Irrelevant Package: Documentation problem Bug Type: Documentation Problem Bug description:preg_match changelog missing entry when $matches became optional in 5.4.0 Description: ------------ --- From manual page: http://www.php.net/function.preg-match#refsect1-function.preg- match-changelog --- The function signature for preg_match indicates $matches (the third argument) is optional. However, it was only made optional in PHP 5.4.0: http://php.net/ChangeLog-5.php#5.4.0 """" Improved preg extension Changed third parameter of preg_match_all() to optional. #53238. """" The changelog for this function should reflect this, so that readers still using versions earlier than PHP 5.4 will understand why they get errors if they attempt to leave off the third argument. Expected result: ---------------- I would expect the changelog for the preg_match function documentation to show that the third argument was made optional in PHP 5.4.0. -- Edit bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=63754&edit=1 -- Try a snapshot (PHP 5.4): https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=63754&r=trysnapshot54 Try a snapshot (PHP 5.3): https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=63754&r=trysnapshot53 Try a snapshot (trunk): https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=63754&r=trysnapshottrunk Fixed in SVN: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=63754&r=fixed Fixed in release: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=63754&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=63754&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=63754&r=needscript Try newer version: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=63754&r=oldversion Not developer issue: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=63754&r=support Expected behavior: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=63754&r=notwrong Not enough info: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=63754&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=63754&r=submittedtwice register_globals: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=63754&r=globals PHP 4 support discontinued: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=63754&r=php4 Daylight Savings: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=63754&r=dst IIS Stability: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=63754&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=63754&r=gnused Floating point limitations: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=63754&r=float No Zend Extensions: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=63754&r=nozend MySQL Configuration Error: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=63754&r=mysqlcfg
