#36442 [Opn]: preg_match's examples shouldn't always use / as delimiter

ID: 36442 Updated by: arpad@php.net Reported By: colder@php.net Status: Open Bug Type: Documentation problem Operating System: Irrelevant PHP Version: Irrelevant New Comment: I'm not sure of the merit of using a different delimiter there since it demonstrates that if the delimiter does exist, it should be escaped. However if it is changed, I think '|' is a bad choice because it's part of PCRE syntax. Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2006-02-18 14:48:34] colder@php.net Description: ------------ In the manual page of preg_match, "/" is always used as delimiter, even if there are "/"s in the regex. It could influences bad habbits on readers. There are also too many escaped chars. Here is the patch containing the proposed changes: http://www.colder.ch/patches/preg-match.patch ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=36442&edit=1
