PCRE false match with preg_match?

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



I recently encountered a strange behaviour, could someone please
countercheck it, to either tell me there is an error in my pattern?

I have a test string: "7005-N/52"
I have two match patterns: 	a) "/([0-9]*)\/(.*)/i"
				b) "/([0-9]*)\-(.*)/i"
I check the test string with the help of preg_match, and they both
matched, but normally variant a) shouldn't have matched.

Normally I test my patterns with the tool "The Regex Coach", and
according to this tool it shouldn't have matched.
PHP version is 5.0.4, PCRE extension version is 4.5 01-December-2003

Thanks for any help or feedback,
Jens
