note 46005 added to reference.pcre.pattern.syntax

"The documentation is wrong. You need to use '///' to match a backslash not '//'. '//' is actually a reserved meta-character... or meta-phrase... or something." Your talking about \\ and yes, you do need 3 or 4 backslashes for a literal \ And \n isn't a backreference, you have to use \\n Well thats the only way I get it to work ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/reference.pcre.pattern.syntax.php Edit -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+46005 Delete -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+46005&report=yes Reject -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+46005&report=yes Search -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
