Are you completely serious right now? Is there some good reason for this that my limited understanding of Ruby can't quite grasp?!

emanuele:
Well, I know nothing about Ruby, but I know different languages can have differences. So I cannot be completely sure a regexp written for ruby will work on php.

The Craw:
I'm wondering why SMF is using Ruby regex in the first place.

Suki:
Where?

Regex in Ruby, Python and PHP is pretty much the same, there are no differences, Regex problems are because of string escaping  but the rules on regex itself are the same.

Rubular (the website I linked for regexp testing purpose) is using Ruby, not SMF! ;)
