I am having a weird issue with php preg_match. I am moving to my php
sites to a new server. On the old server all works well. On the new
server preg_match always returns false. If I log in via ssh and run
the script at the bash prompt as root preg_match works fine. Does
anyone have any thoughts on what would cause this issue?

I have determined (i think) that the issue is with apache. Is there a
way to compile apache so it will use the external pcre instead of the
internal?
