note 82404 added to ref.pcre

In answer to "me at codingbear.com" You can achieve the same result in a way that at my sense is easier. However, If you have a custom error handler already set $php_errormsg wont be populated and you will have to retreive your last error from your custom error handler. <?php /** * The RegEx validation class . * * Usage: * if (!RegEx::isValid($expression)) { * echo 'Your regular expression is invalid because: ' . RegEx::error(); * } */ class RegEx { /** * Validates a regular expression. Returns TRUE * if the expression is valid, FALSE if not. If * the expression is not valid, the reason why * can be fetched from RegEx::error(). * * @access public * @static * @param string $regex Regular Expression * @return bool */ function isValid($regex) { self::error(FALSE); $nbMatch = FALSE; $nbMatch = @preg_match($regex, ''); if($nbMatch === FALSE){ self::error(substr($php_errormsg, 14)); return FALSE; } return TRUE; } /** * Holds the error from the last validation check. * * The first parameter is used internally and should * not be used by the developer. * * @access public * @static * @param FALSE|string $value value to set for $flag * @return FALSE|string */ function error($value = NULL) { static $flag = FALSE; if (!is_null($value)) { $flag = $value; } return $flag; } } ?> ---- Server IP: 66.207.199.35 Probable Submitter: 74.13.246.234 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/ref.pcre.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/82404 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/82404/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/82404/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/82404/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/82404/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/82404/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/82404/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/82404 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/82404 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
