PHP: call to undefined function preg_match() (I think to do with PCRE)

BuckRogers01 · 10-16-2005, 08:22 AM

Hi, I emergin in Gentoo apache2 and php5, it all works fine except for the PCRE (Perl ... regular expressions) function arn't working. For instance, in the cli or from a webpage I call preg_match() in php, I just get the error: call ton undefined function preg_match(). I've searched on the net and found that it may be to do with PCRE.

Anyone got any ideas?

thanks in advance, Buck

Solved! I had not added the pcre USE variable into make.conf, once I recompiled with it added, everything worked as normal
