Description anaconda 2006-12-25 01:10:00 UTC 
I'm having troubles using the SpamBlacklist extension with PHP 5.2; the error log shows "[error] PHP Warning:  preg_match() [<a href='function.preg-
match'>function.preg-match</a>]: Compilation failed: repeated subpattern is too long at offset 15711 in [blabla]/SpamBlacklist_body.php on line 210". I'm 
not a PHP programmer, but with The Power of Google[tm], it seems caused by a change in the PCRE of PHP. Lowering $regexMax from 20000 to 15694 solves 
the problem (15695 doesn't work).

Comment 2 Brion Vibber 2007-01-13 05:25:47 UTC 
In r19197 I've reduced the size to 4096. The actual PCRE internal limit seems to
be hard to predict; I think it's a limit on _compiled_ size rather than _input_
size, so input with fancy matching may complicate things.

Hopefully this'll do until we rework the whole rotten thing. :)
