note 46798 added to ref.pcre

If you want to perform regular expressions on Unicode strings, the PCRE functions will NOT be of any help. You need to use the Multibyte extension : mb_ereg(), mb_eregi(), pb_ereg_replace() and so on. When doing so, be carefull to set the default text encoding to the same encoding used by the text you are searching and replacing in. You can do that with the mb_regex_encoding() function. You will probably also want to set the default encoding for the other mb_* string functions with mb_internal_encoding(). So when dealing with, say, french text, I start with these : <?php mb_internal_encoding('UTF-8'); mb_regex_encoding('UTF-8'); setlocale(LC_ALL, 'fr-fr'); ?> ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/ref.pcre.php Edit -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+46798 Delete -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+46798&report=yes Reason: bad code -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+46798&report=yes&reason=bad+code Reason: spam -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+46798&report=yes&reason=spam Reason: useless example -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+46798&report=yes&reason=useless+example Reason: contains commercial links -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+46798&report=yes&reason=contains+commercial+links Reason: useless note -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+46798&report=yes&reason=useless+note Reject -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+46798&report=yes Search -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
