note 41026 added to pcre.pattern.syntax

It took me quite a bit of trial and error to figure out how to match double punctuation characters at the start of a string, especially if it was $$. I don't know why, but on WinXP for me at the console (4.3.4RC3-dev), it matters which kind of quote you use around the delimiters. Example code: <?php echo "\r\n"; $testline='$$hello'; if(preg_match("/^([\W_])\1/",$testline))echo "true\r\n"; else echo "false\r\n"; if(preg_match('/^([\W_])\1/',$testline))echo "true\r\n"; else echo "false\r\n"; ?> produces false true I just checked this (changed the slash-r slash-n's to br's) on my web server (4.3.3) and the result is the same. ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/pcre.pattern.syntax.php Edit -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+41026 Delete -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+41026&report=yes Reject -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+41026&report=yes Search -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
