[Tikiwiki-devel] String pattern problems.

[Robin L. P. <rlp...@di...>]

In tiki-setup_base.php, there is now variable testing.  One of them
broke a number of my pages.  The error is like:

    Invalid variable value : page = BPFK Checkpoint: Letterals #1

Looking at the code, I discovered the following test for string
variables:

    $patterns['string']  = "/^[^<>\";&#]*$/"; // find, and such extended chars

This is going to break a good number of my pages, and I can't think of a
good reason for *any* of them.  A string is a string.  Can someone
explain what's going on here?
