note 47289 added to reference.pcre.pattern.syntax

I note that you appear not to be able to use a back-reference inside a quantifier, so this doesn't work: preg_match('#^((\d+)\x00(\d+)\x00(.{\1})(.{\2}))+#', $data, $match) this is unfortunate, as this is a very useful idea - being able to proccess data with specified lengths in it. Instead it has to be done manually with excessive substr() usage... ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/reference.pcre.pattern.syntax.php Edit -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+47289 Delete -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+47289&report=yes Reason: bad code -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+47289&report=yes&reason=bad+code Reason: spam -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+47289&report=yes&reason=spam Reason: useless example -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+47289&report=yes&reason=useless+example Reason: contains commercial links -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+47289&report=yes&reason=contains+commercial+links Reason: useless note -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+47289&report=yes&reason=useless+note Reject -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+47289&report=yes Search -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
