RE: [PHP4BETA] perl compatible regex search&replace behavingoddly... bug?

I apologize for not stepping in before. I hit this same exact problem in PHP 4.0b3. I assume you're running the stock 4.0b3 build. As far as I can tell, pcre is broken in that build. The fix for me was to selectively pickup and patch some code in the pcre module from the cvs release into the b3 release to fix this problem. The symptoms I had were exactly the ones you describe. Using the current CVS build should fix the problem. > -----Original Message----- > From: Alexander Fordyce [mailto:alex@ax-im.com] > Sent: Tuesday, January 18, 2000 2:05 PM > To: Andrei Zmievski > Cc: php4beta@lists.php.net > Subject: Re: [PHP4BETA] perl compatible regex search&replace > behavingoddly... bug? > > > yikes...
