php.js

In addition to my post just now, there is also the possibility of ECMAScript itself supporting the more advanced syntax (not sure if they would for reasons of backward-compatibility).

@Jon. L: Yes, that's true--I guess you are talking about the fact that we escape "<" and ">"? Yeah, those could be removed, but 1) It is harmless to escape them, 2) Safer to behave like PHP in case someone is passing something back to PHP, 3) ... [More] I'm hoping at some point for us to port and build upon XRegExp so that our library does support the full PCRE syntax. [Less]

The line, data = this.utf8_encode(data + ''); is incorrect. PHP treats input to base64_encode as a binary string. I had to comment out this code in order to get compatibility with existing PHP code that uses binary strings. I'd advise ... [More] removing this line altogether, it doesn't make sense, especially as the input is likely already in UTF-8 encoding, and if it's not then it's probably a binary string (or some other encoding, in any event that line shouldn't be there).
