note 92350 added to function.preg-quote

To escape characters with special meaning, like: .-[]() and so on, use \Q and \E. For example: <?php echo ( preg_match('/^'.( $myvar = 'te.t' ).'$/i', 'test') ? 'match' : 'nomatch' ); ?> Will result in: match But: <?php echo ( preg_match('/^\Q'.( $myvar = 'te.t' ).'\E$/i', 'test') ? 'match' : 'nomatch' ); ?> Will result in: nomatch ---- Server IP: 69.147.83.197 Probable Submitter: 80.77.114.114 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.preg-quote.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/92350 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/92350/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/92350/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/92350/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/92350/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/92350/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/92350/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/92350 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/92350 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
