Hello;
The following regex:
ereg(member value='[a-zA-Z ]{1,25}' uspace='([a-z0-9-\.\/]{2,11})'
id='$m[1]', $groups, $m1);
is causing the following error:
Warning: ereg() [function.ereg]: REG_ERANGE in path info_proc.php on
line 81
Can someone tell me what this means?
What I am trying to do is pick out some info from an xml tag the is id'd by
$m[1] ( a match from a preceding regex. This regex is only supposed to
be applied if there is an $m[1] match. This happened without the
dot (.) and forward slash escaped in the uspace=' etc ' section. I used
back slashes to see if that made a difference, it does not. I have gotten
a little hazy on what needs to be escaped in character classes.
I have written a number of
similar regexs in the same collections of scripts and I can not see what
this one is complaining about.
php v5.1.2, Apache 1.3.34, FreeBSD v6.0
Thanks in advance

[PHP] re regex error
Hello again; Regarding the error I was inquiring about: Warning: ereg() [function.ereg]: REG_ERANGE in path info_proc.php on line 81 I still would like to know what it means but I solved the script problem. I found that since $groups is a string that was exploded to form the $g_list array it may have been struggling to try and crawl back through the whole string in the middle of the for loop. But I don't know, because I don't know what REG_ERANGE means. I should have not been trying to run this regex at this stage of the script and, in fact (I have been doing a lot of complex programming on this project ) I had the same regex further down the list where is should have been and was already. Anyhow, I think this may be valuable for anyone who is trying to learn by watching and reading this list. thanks Jeff K -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

If you didn't get it, here it is again. quote You used to have the - after the 9 at the end, and then you tacked on the \. and \/ after that, and now PCRE is trying to use the - as if it were a range-specifier, like, a-z or 0-9, only you've got, essentially, a-z0-9-. quote -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
