Error typing regex in preg_replace () php

[Gondim]

Typing preg_replace(’/ \ s + /’, ‘’, $ string) ST3 crashes execution and does not respond.

try in a clean state with no third party plugins, likely one is causing this

I had experienced PHP build crashed the plugin_host before as well. But I am lazy to debug it (I think I can probably never find out why).

Eventually, I invoke php from the command line directly to trigger a script or use psysh to test tiny snippets.
