No, PCRE is a Perl-Compatible-Regex library but it is not the code used by Perl
itself. Many (most?) open source things that have regex support will use PCRE.

I have Perl itself installed; do they use PCRE? Sorry for my n00b questions. If
so, I will run a test on there shortly.

hrm.. how about finding something else that links against pcre and runs on
Windows that might be able to do a replace? Like Python perhaps?
I still doubt this has anything to do with PHP. We don't mangle anything going
in
nor out of pcre.

pcretest doesn't actually perform replacements: it only does matches. I'm not
sure
how I would run pcretest on this.

This is unlikely to be a native PHP issue. Can you perform a similar test using
the pcretest program from pcre.org? If you can reproduce it with that then it
takes PHP completely out of the picture and you would need to file it against
libpcre.

Please note that I am aware that using a regex without the "u" modifier with
non-
standard characters is discouraged. HOWEVER, it is still bad for there to be
different behavior in Windows than in Unix.
