Re: More preg_match_* control

I wonder if these people have a summary of things they ideally need. Then we could have ext/bioinformatics. Who knows, it might bring PHP to new places. Anyway, I'm neutral about the parameter change. Will it be a default parameter? Andi At 01:12 PM 26/6/2003 -0400, Andrei Zmievski wrote:

Hi, Apparently a few people are doing a lot of bioinformatics data sifting with PHP and one of them asked me if it would be possible to add a parameter to preg_match_* functions to indicate the starting offset for the search. I think it's a good idea, and having looked at the current implementation, I think this parameter can just come after the 'flags' one. It won't be used that often, so specifying 0 for flags in that case is okay. Any thoughts or objections? -Andrei * Entropy isn't what it used to be. * -- PHP Internals - PHP Runtime Development Mailing List To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
