I finally found a specific input string that fails in PHP but works fine in Perl. I'm at a loss why. Reproduce code: --------------- $pattern = "/(\w\w\w) (\d+) (\d\d\d\d) (\d+):(\d\d)(\w)M/"; $input = "Dec 17 2008 2:23PM"; $rv = preg_match($pattern, $input, $groups); echo var_dump($rv); Expected result: ---------------- A non-zero result indicating the pattern matched. Actual result: -------------- Zero. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=46890&edit=1
