preg_match_all(): Compilation failed: missing )

Question

I don't know where i'm making mistake. Please Help.

   preg_match_all('`(?:[^,"]|"((?<=\)"|[^"])*")*`x', $string, $result);

What will be the correct line?

I tried to escape it by adding backslash but it didn't helped. — naan, May 02 '17 at 05:28
To escape backslash, you should use \\\\ not just \\. This [SO Answer](http://stackoverflow.com/a/4025505/5447994) might help — Thamilhan, May 02 '17 at 05:29

You did not escape the backslash:

preg_match_all('`(?:[^,"]|"((?<=\\)"|[^"])*")*`x', $string, $result);

Or, if you don't intend to match a backslash at all, you then have to omit it completely:

preg_match_all('`(?:[^,"]|"((?<=)"|[^"])*")*`x', $string, $result);
