Thank you for taking the time to write to us, but this is not
a bug. Please double-check the documentation available at
http://www.php.net/manual/ and the instructions on how to report
a bug at http://bugs.php.net/how-to-report.php

echo "/^(([A-Z][a-z]*)+[\\])*([A-Z][a-z]*)+$/";

And see what you pass to the regexp engine. You're using " so \\]
becomes \] which escapes the ]  ...

Description:
------------
The regexs for preg_match() are suppose to work, but error occur

Test script:
---------------
//test1.php
echo preg_match("/^(([A-Z][a-z]*)+\\)*([A-Z][a-z]*)+$/", 'Plz\TestMe');

//test2.php
echo preg_match("/^(([A-Z][a-z]*)+[\\])*([A-Z][a-z]*)+$/",
'Plz\TestMe');

Expected result:
----------------
//test1.php - expected result
1

//test2.php - expected result
1

Actual result:
--------------
//test1.php - actual result
Warning: preg_match() [function.preg-match]: Compilation failed: missing
) at offset 34 in path\to\test.php on line 3


//test2.php - actual result
0
