[pmwiki-devel] preg_replace /e depreciated in php 5.5

[Petko Yotov]

This is bad, bad news.

The PmWiki Markup engine relies heavily on the /e modifier. Even if we  
manage to fix the core, this will break almost any and all recipes.

Unless we find a way to automatically convert the replacement PHP code into  
an anonymous function. How much more secure it will be?!?

I'd like to read some ideas and suggestions from the community.
