I'm moving my sites to a new server and thought I'd put up the newly released 2.6.21 library. It appears to have some problems. If I try to load pages that aren't already cached in my templates_c directory, I get a big fat preg_match error:

Warning: preg_match() [function.preg-match]: Compilation failed: repeated subpattern is too long at offset 18454 in /www/smrt/libs/Smarty_Compiler.class.php on line 454

I moved back to 2.6.20 and fired everything up without a problem. If I move 2.6.21 back in once all the pages are cached, things are good. Problem with 2.6.21 or just a new way that caching is handled which I'm not aware of?

Did you upgrade PHP as well? There seems to be a bug with pcre?

I unfortunately don't have too much of a choice in this, but at least I've got a 5.1 variant.

So you have verified that PHP 5.1.x works fine?

Yes, 5.1 appears to fine. Like I said, 2.6.20 works without any problem on the same server. Someone else who is running 2.6.21 should wipe their site's templates_c directory and then try to fire up the site again and have it write the caches anew. If it works for them, then it's something deeper in my system, although I don't know what.

So the question is, does Smarty 2.6.21 work ok with PHP 5.1.x. If so, then PCRE is most certainly the case.

I'm running PHP 5.2.6 and just did a clean install of 2.6.21 which resulted in the same error as the first poster

I can confirm this happening on CentOS 5.2 running Plesk 8.6.0.

PHP version: php-5.1.6-20.el5_2.1
Smarty SVN checkout.

From apache error logs:
[Fri Dec 05 11:04:14 2008] [error] [client xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx] PHP Warning: preg_match() [<a href='function.preg-match'>function.preg-match</a>]: Compilation failed: repeated subpattern is too long at offset 18454 in /library/smarty/Smarty_Compiler.class.php on line 454
[Fri Dec 05 11:04:14 2008] [error] [client xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx] PHP Fatal error: Smarty error: [in main.tpl line 7]: syntax error: unrecognized tag: $name (Smarty_Compiler.class.php, line 455) in /library/smarty/Smarty.class.php on line 1092

== Notes ==
Moved back to 2.6.20 and it does work now.

do you have a test case template that fails with a clean install?

paul.blair · Smarty n00b Joined: 05 Dec 2008 Posts: 3

yes, the demo template!

Ok I'm running smarty SVN (identical to 2.6.21) on PHP 5.1.6, demo compiles without problems. U.Tews says PHP 5.2.6 works fine for him. It looks like PHP 5.2.7 was just released. Can someone with the errors try PHP 5.2.7?

edit: I just grabbed the Smarty 2.6.21 zip to be certain, and ran against PHP 5.1.6, confirmed demo compiles and works fine. What OS are you using?

Cent OS 5..2

Exactly same problem here, installed Smarty 2.6.21 and got that error message.

Was pulling out my hairs, until I found this page via Google.
So I downloaded 2.6.20 -- and, instantly, the error is gone. Now my apps will execute with no problem whatsoever.

I'm using Mac OS X 10.4.11 on PowerPC processor, PHP 5.2.1, Apache 2.2.4.

FYI, thanks!
