note 96782 rejected from function.preg-quote by thiago

Note Submitter: pavel at icewarp dot com ---- I am wondering why / is the default DELIMITER(This is the usual delimiter for the text part of a regular expression. If the sought-after text contains slashes, it's sometimes easier to use pipe symbols (|) for delimiters, but this is rare. Here are simple examples of the slash operator - quotation from perl regex site ) ! I think the delimiter should be \.Also preg_quote('/') will do nothing ( returns / ),so then preg_match fails! Can anyone tell my why ?
