note 96479 added to regexp.reference.unicode

these properties are usualy only available if PCRE is compiled with "--enable-unicode-properties" if you want to match any word but want to provide a fallback, you can do something like that: if(@preg_match_all('/\p{L}+/u', $str, $arr) { // fallback goes here // for example just '/\w+/u' for a less acurate match } ---- Server IP: 69.147.83.197 Probable Submitter: 81.223.129.178 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/regexp.reference.unicode.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/96479 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/96479/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/96479/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/96479/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/96479/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/96479/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/96479/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/96479 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/96479 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
