From: ammacdon at yahoo dot com Operating system: PHP version: Irrelevant PHP Bug Type: Documentation problem Bug description: unknown word
Description: ------------ bad grammar and a made-up word Reproduce code: --------------- http://us3.php.net/preg_replace "If there are less keys in the replacement array than in the pattern array, the excedent patterns will be replaced by an empty string." this sentence does not parse; proper english requires "fewer" instead of "less". also, i was unable to find a definition to the word(?) "excedent" in the Oxford American Dictionary. as such, i do not understand what the sentence means. what are "excedent patterns?" -- Edit bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=38999&edit=1 -- Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 4.4): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=38999&r=trysnapshot44 Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 5.2): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=38999&r=trysnapshot52 Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 6.0): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=38999&r=trysnapshot60 Fixed in CVS: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=38999&r=fixedcvs Fixed in release: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=38999&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=38999&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=38999&r=needscript Try newer version: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=38999&r=oldversion Not developer issue: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=38999&r=support Expected behavior: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=38999&r=notwrong Not enough info: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=38999&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=38999&r=submittedtwice register_globals: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=38999&r=globals PHP 3 support discontinued: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=38999&r=php3 Daylight Savings: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=38999&r=dst IIS Stability: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=38999&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=38999&r=gnused Floating point limitations: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=38999&r=float No Zend Extensions: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=38999&r=nozend MySQL Configuration Error: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=38999&r=mysqlcfg
