ID: 40627 Updated by: vrana@php.net Reported By: brettz9 at yahoo dot com -Status: Open +Status: Closed Bug Type: Documentation problem Operating System: All PHP Version: Irrelevant New Comment: This bug has been fixed in the documentation's XML sources. Since the online and downloadable versions of the documentation need some time to get updated, we would like to ask you to be a bit patient. Thank you for the report, and for helping us make our documentation better. "The maximum length of a subject string is the largest positive number that an integer variable can hold. However, PCRE uses recursion to handle subpatterns and indefinite repetition. This means that the available stack space may limit the size of a subject string that can be processed by certain patterns."

Expected result: ---------------- It replaces the text Actual result: -------------- In my case at least, the preg_replace_callback function returned nothing back. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=40627&edit=1
