Warning: preg_match() [function.preg-match]: Compilation failed

[reveiled]

I get this in my new Wordpress Install!

What is wrong?

 

Warning: preg_match() [function.preg-match]: Compilation failed: nothing to repeat at offset 1 in /home/haitimar/public_html/quepasodr/wp-includes/classes.php on line 210

What are you trying to do?  That syntax is entirely wrong.

 

 

^ means starts with, and $ means ends with.

if (preg_match("#^{$match}#", $request_match, $matches) || preg_match("#^{$match}#", urldecode($request_match), $matches)) {

I just installed a Wordpress blog with 2 plugins (SImple Press Forum http://simplepressforum.com/ & Maintenance mode http://sw-guide.de/wordpress/plugins/maintenance-mode/ )

 

Everything was fine. Left the blog overnight, woke up in the morning & I had that!

I checked other WP installs I have and line 210 & 211 are exactly the same as this one

if (preg_match("#^{$match}#", $request_match, $matches) || preg_match("#^{$match}#", urldecode($request_match), $matches)) {

Should I replace it with this one?

My code assumes that you are trying to see if the value of the variable $match is at the start of the string $request_match.
