note 113811 added to function.preg-quote

WARNING WARNING WARNING - this function does not work as you expect! If you expect it to simply make any string you want to replace "harmless" no matter what characters it contains, it does NOT do this! I had to learn this the hard way by losing two hours of work in my web-based IDE which contains server-side PHP code for global Search & Replace in a project, and when a string I wanted to replace contained '/', it errored, causing random lines of code all over my project to be DELETED! AGAIN: This function does NOT quote every character that has a special meaning in a Perl regex, DESPITE THE DOCUMENTATION! ---- Server IP: 72.52.91.14 Probable Submitter: 72.52.91.14 ---- Manual Page -- http://php.net/manual/en/function.preg-quote.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/113811 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/113811/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/113811/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/113811/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/113811/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/113811/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/113811/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/113811 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/113811 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
