Hi All,

When I was coding a CMS ,I have come across a chance to use a long text with a regaular expression.But it is working fine for short text but for long texts the execution stops there.When I have googled it saying as a bug and about pcre.Is there any way to solve the issue

Looking for help

You have to read the file line-by-line.

It is not only for a file but also for a lone string.For short strings it is working fine

Is it not just that the php script is timing out in which case you could adjust the max execution time using set_time_limit.

I have checked the same thing also.It is not problem with time of execution.It is something else

What about using ereg (http://uk.php.net/manual/en/function.ereg.php) instead of using preg_match

Thanks I was plannning to use same.But for the preg_match() we have found some bugs

http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=38000

it is saying to use U modifier with the regular expression.It is not working for me

That bug appears to be specific to version 5.1.2 and a particularly complex regexp. Can you post your php code and an example string that causes the error?
