Description:
------------
Performing a global match with empty alternative in subpattern followed
by $ alternative in subpattern results in "extra" match.
In the example below, I believe that preg_match_all should match the
second 'a' in the first subpattern, match the end of subject assertion
in the second subpattern and flag the global search as over.
I've tried this with php5.2.5/pcre7.3 on linux.
Reproduce code:
---------------
$regex = '/(a|)(,|$)/';
echo preg_match_all($regex, 'a,', $m1, PREG_SET_ORDER)."\n";
print_r($m1);
echo preg_match_all($regex, 'a,a' ,$m2, PREG_SET_ORDER)."\n";
print_r($m2);
Expected result:
----------------
2
Array
(
[0] => Array
(
[0] => a,
[1] => a
[2] => ,
)
[1] => Array
(
[0] =>
[1] =>
[2] =>
)
)
2
Array
(
[0] => Array
(
[0] => a,
[1] => a
[2] => ,
)
[1] => Array
(
[0] => a
[1] => a
[2] =>
)
)
Actual result:
--------------
2
Array
(
[0] => Array
(
[0] => a,
[1] => a
[2] => ,
)
[1] => Array
(
[0] =>
