问题
I am trying to validate a bunch of text and check if there are any emails in it... so i use the following code:
if (preg_match_all("/^([a-zA-Z0-9_.-])+@([a-zA-Z0-9_.-])+\\.([a-zA-Z])+([a-zA-Z])+/", $str, $matches)){
}
this will work for TEXT_A in Page1
but when i go in Page2 and try to check again on TEXT_A it will kill the page with "Problem loading page" error...
if i remove this check the page will load fine... i dont get why this is happening...
edit:im using CodeIgniter

I see a problem in your regex that could cause Catastrophic Backtracking.
^([a-zA-Z0-9_.-])+@([a-zA-Z0-9_.-])+\\.([a-zA-Z])+([a-zA-Z])+
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
What do you want to match in the area I marked?
How should the regex know from which letter on the second group should apply?
If you have a longer sequence of letters that can match, the regex will need a lot of steps to match that ==> you have a performance problem, the regex just don't finish in time!
I would say you can just remove the last group and the regex will match the same, but much faster.
^([a-zA-Z0-9_.-])+@([a-zA-Z0-9_.-])+\\.([a-zA-Z])+
