Re: [PHP4BETA] Bug in PHP4.0b3 perl-compatible regex?

Yep that fixed it! Thanks. For anyone else that has this problem, you'll have to do some selective code copying from CVS to the beta 3 trees to fix this. I copied ext/pcre/php_pcre.c and php_pcre.h and then edited the new php_pcre.c to include php3string.h not phpstring.h. But it did solve the problem. Thanks everyone.
