Bug description: preg_match fails if combined with file_get_contents directly!
Description:
------------
When you put file_get_contents('some_file.ext') as a second argument in
preg_match() it doesn't work. However, when you put that
file_get_contents() into a variable, and THEN you insert that variable as
a second argument, it works. At least at remote files (I'm not sure about
local files) and when there is a third argument too.
Reproduce code:
---------------
preg_match("<pattern>", file_get_contents('http://www.example.com'),
$found);
Expected result:
----------------
Found matches in array $found.
Actual result:
--------------
Nothing.
However, when put your script thus:
$url = file_get_contents('http://www.example.com');
preg_match("<pattern>", $url, $found);
then it works.
