function.preg-match error with additional_images.php

[DigitalShadow]

PHP Warning: preg_match() [<a href='function.preg-match'>function.preg-match</a>]: Compilation failed: unmatched parentheses at offset 31 in [PATH]/additional_images.php on line 54

What could cause that?

This is line 54

if(preg_match("/" . $products_image_base . "/i", $file) == 1) {



v1.3.8a

unmatched parentheses at offset 31

This would be in the $products_image_base content. Could there be any parentheses in the filename? Or could the code that derives $products_image_base have gotten corrupted?

Would an image with a ( in the file name cause that error?

It's more likely that you've got excessive "." symbols in the name, perhaps in a foldername of the path to the file.

[DigitalShadow]

the folder names are letters

the files have some

-

in them

Would an image with a ( in the file name cause that error?

I had the exact same error referring to the preg-match in additional_images.php, after searching the apache logs at that time i found there is a product with an image named: sigi_paraplu)rocky.jpg
eliminating the ) from the filename solves the error
