note 95828 added to function.preg-match

I noticed that in order to deal with UTF-8 texts, without having to recompile php with the PCRE UTF-8 flag enabled, you can just add the following sequence at the start of your pattern: (*UTF8) for instance : '#(*UTF8)[[:alnum:]]#' will return TRUE for 'é' where '#[[:alnum:]]#' will return FALSE found this very very useful tip after hours of research over the web directly in pcre website right here : http://www.pcre.org/pcre.txt there are many further informations about UTF-8 support in the lib hop that will help! -- cedric ---- Server IP: 69.147.83.197 Probable Submitter: 80.125.165.184 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.preg-match.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/95828 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/95828/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/95828/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/95828/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/95828/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/95828/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/95828/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/95828 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/95828 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
