Description: ------------ For pattern: .* there is an empty match at the end of the string. Reproduce code: --------------- $p1='/.*/'; $p2='/.*$/'; $p3='/^.*/'; $p4='/^.*$/'; $test='some text'; function test($p,$t) { preg_match_all($p,$t,$m,PREG_SET_ORDER); echo $p.'<br />'; if (count($m)==1) echo '<div style="color: green;">ok</div>'; else echo '<div style="color: red;">bug</div>'; echo '<pre>'.var_export($m,true).'</pre>'; echo '<br /><br />'; } test($p1,$test); test($p2,$test); test($p3,$test); test($p4,$test); Expected result: ---------------- I'm expecting one match in the preg_match_all result array, and I will get two instead of one. The second match is empty. Actual result: -------------- /.*/ bug array ( 0 => array ( 0 => 'some text', ), 1 => array ( 0 => '', ), ) /.*$/ bug array ( 0 => array ( 0 => 'some text', ), 1 => array ( 0 => '', ), ) /^.*/ ok array ( 0 => array ( 0 => 'some text', ), ) /^.*$/ ok array ( 0 => array ( 0 => 'some text', ), ) -- Edit bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=49198&edit=1 -- Try a snapshot (PHP 5.2): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=49198&r=trysnapshot52 Try a snapshot (PHP 5.3): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=49198&r=trysnapshot53 Try a snapshot (PHP 6.0): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=49198&r=trysnapshot60 Fixed in SVN: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=49198&r=fixed Fixed in SVN and need be documented: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=49198&r=needdocs Fixed in release: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=49198&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=49198&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=49198&r=needscript Try newer version: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=49198&r=oldversion Not developer issue: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=49198&r=support Expected behavior: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=49198&r=notwrong Not enough info: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=49198&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=49198&r=submittedtwice register_globals: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=49198&r=globals PHP 4 support discontinued: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=49198&r=php4 Daylight Savings: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=49198&r=dst IIS Stability: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=49198&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=49198&r=gnused Floating point limitations: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=49198&r=float No Zend Extensions: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=49198&r=nozend MySQL Configuration Error: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=49198&r=mysqlcfg
