Warning: preg_replace: Compilation failed

  • Guys, I’m getting this error,

    preg_replace(): Compilation failed: regular expression is too large
    From my insert.php plugin file, line 52

    Anyone have an idea how to increase their size so they can read?

    On line 52 of your PHP code, the PHP compiler sees a regular expression that’s too large for it to compile.

    Insert PHP works by putting the PHP code found between [insert_php] and [/insert_php] tags through the PHP eval() function. I speculate that it’s possible using eval() reduces the regular expression size the PHP compiler can handle; but I don’t know it for a fact.

    It may be necessary to split the regular expression into two or more expressions so the compiler can handle it.

    Will
