Hey,

Just setup a new server and getting some issues with this PHP error. PCRE is indeed compiled with UTF-8 and Unicode support.

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

Using PHP 5.4.11, CentOS 6 x64 and Apache 2.4. Was using the same on another server except on a 32 bit OS and it was fine.

 

Yes going back to 2.2 resolved this issue. Did not have the issue on a 32 bit CentOS 5 system.
