PHP 5.4 after-install: preg_match(): Compilation f

问题:

I recently upgraded my PHP to version 5.4.1 on my Lion OS X 64bit, I'm getting an error thrown in Codeigniter:

Severity: Warning

Message: preg_match(): Compilation failed: unknown option bit(s) set at offset 0

Filename: core/Utf8.php

Line Number: 44

I Googled the problem, this seems to be a problem with the PCRE lib in PHP, well I followed this tutorial which shows to install pcre with homebrew which I did (I'm running pcre 8.30) and this didn't solve the problem.

I've tried looking around for solutions, but I haven't came across one that helped - is there a method of fixing this PCRE lib problem?

EDIT: Just edited this question to remind me what my installation was:

I was able to get PHP 5.4.1 working with PCRE version 8.12 (which is the version included in PHP 5.4.1 I believe). After all the back and forth listed in the question's comments, I decided to compile PHP without the PCRE flags and let PHP just use it's defaults. By using the defaults, it compiles with 8.12.

Now, a follow up questions is, of course, WHY this happens. I would still expect 8.30 to be compiled with PHP with the flags I provided. But, at this point, I am just happy to have the thing working.

Below are the config options I got to work in case you want to try it from your end.

./configure \
--prefix=/usr \
--mandir=/usr/share/man \
--infodir=/usr/share/info \
--sysconfdir=/private/etc \
--with-apxs2=/usr/local/apache/bin/apxs \
--enable-cli \
--with-config-file-path=/etc \
--with-libxml-dir=/usr \
--with-openssl=/usr \
--with-kerberos=/usr \
--with-zlib=/usr \
--enable-bcmath \
--with-bz2=/usr \
--enable-calendar \
--with-curl=/usr \
--enable-dba \
--enable-exif \
--enable-ftp \
--with-gd \
--with-freetype-dir=/usr/X11/ \
--with-jpeg-dir=/usr \
--with-png-dir=/usr/X11/ \
--enable-gd-native-ttf \
--with-icu-dir=/usr \
--with-iodbc=/usr \
--with-ldap=/usr \
--with-ldap-sasl=/usr \
--with-libedit=/usr \
--enable-mbstring \
--enable-mbregex \
--with-mysql=mysqlnd \
--with-mysqli=mysqlnd \

--enable-soap \
--enable-sockets \
--enable-sysvmsg \
--enable-sysvsem \
--enable-sysvshm \
--with-tidy \

I resolved this issue by updating PHP and PCRE on my Linux machine using yum update.

PHP was updated to version 5.3.17 and PCRE was updated to version 8.21-5.3amzn1 ( I'm running on an Amazon EC2 instance ).

My Solution was near to what @bigZero proposed.

I couldn't make it work on brew because when I tried to install pcre v8.12 on brew it was not possible because it was (maybe) erased from the repository. I mean, it is shown on brew versions pcre but when I tried to install it failed to download from ftp://ftp.csx.cam.ac.uk/pub/software/programming/pcre/

So I had to download the pcre 8.12 source code from http://www.pcre.org, compile it and install it. I used the following configure: ./configure --prefix=/usr --enable-utf8 --enable-unicode-properties

I tried to recompile php (in my case 5.4.10) without the --with-pcre-regex option (as suggested by @scott-harwell. But it failed while compiling. Than I added --with-pcre-regex=/usr/ and it finally worked.

Recompile httpd. Before that make sure you have only one version of pcre on your system.
