No need to run it.
?> can be caught by PHP as the end of PHP mode, no matter where you put it
in a string or not.
You can get around this by using something like:
>// $note_exp = '/\d{1,2} \w{3} \d{4} \d{2}:\d{2}\s?> [!-~ ]+/';
> // COMMENT OUT THIS LINE
$note_exp = '/\d{1,2} \w{3} \d{4} \d{2}:\d{2}\s?' . '> [!-~]+/';
Other possible solutions:
Use ?\> and PHP inside of "" and maybe PHP will interpret that as what you
want.
I'm also not a fan of a single \ inside of '' myself, even if the manual
has finally said it's kosher. Maybe cuz I'm just old, and remember when
that was not specifically allowed in the manual. :-)
So I'd use \\ everywhere you have \ currently.
Actually, you may be triggering a PHP bug in the string parsing engine, by
using \ instead of \\.
You do realize that \ *IS* one of the two special characters inside of
''s, the other being ' itself, right?...
