I compared the PHP manual PCRE Pattern section (http://hu.php.net/manual/en/reference.pcre.pattern.syntax.php) and the PCRE manual (http://www.pcre.org/pcre.txt) and I've found the following sections are missing or differs much: - locale support - unicode support - supported POSIX character class list - named capturing subpattern (?P<url> ...) - recursive subpattern (almost beat Perl ;) - possesive quantifiers (?+, *+, ++) > Yes, we need to update it.
