>Description:
Hi,

the following PHP-script:

<?PHP
echo "<PRE>";
$str="This is the string";
 $count = preg_match_all("/[[:print:]\pL]/u", $str, $pockets);
echo $pockets;
echo "</PRE>";
?>


provokes the following error in the httpd-error-log:


 stderr: PHP Warning:  preg_match_all() [<a href='function.preg-match-all'>function.preg-match-all</a>]: Compilation failed: unknown property name after \\P or \\p at offset 12 in /usr/local/www/data/test/p.php on line 4

This is an example from the PHP-documentation - the error manifested itself first when somebody tried to use typolight.

http://www.typolight.org/faq-leser/items/support-for-ppx-has-not-been-compiled.html

I tried to get php5-pcre to recognize these switches, but I failed and I'm not familiar enough with the PHP-port.
Trying to compile with the system-wide pcre failed, too, of course, because some symbols were missing.


I would be very thankful for any advice on this.
