I'm not sure of the merit of using a different delimiter there since it demonstrates that if the delimiter does exist, it should be escaped. However if it is changed, I think '|' is a bad choice because it's part of PCRE syntax.

It could influences bad habbits on readers. There are also too many escaped chars. Here is the patch containing the proposed changes: http://www.colder.ch/patches/preg-match.patch ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=36442&edit=1
