Thank you for taking the time to write to us, but this is not a bug. Please double-check the documentation available at http://www.php.net/manual/ and the instructions on how to report a bug at http://bugs.php.net/how-to-report.php .*? is not a valid regular expression, because the ? is referring to the * and not .* - Solution is to put parenthesis around the pattern, (.*)? works just fine. Apparently the regexp validator you used is faulty. Interesting read on that subject: http://www.pasc.org/interps/unofficial/db/p1003.2/pasc-1003.2-85.html Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2003-12-09 22:23:31] torke at lagged dot ca Description: ------------ Using an expression such as ".*?" causes unwelcome results. When the code below is put through a validator (http://regexlib.com/RETester.aspx) the regular expression matches the text correctly.
