Description:
------------
Documentation for preg_match_all when called using flag PREG_OFFSET_CAPTURE says "Note that this changes the return value in an array ...", which changes is the $matches parameter.

That is a misundertanding doc, because I report it.

Reproduce code:
---------------
Note that this changes the return value in an array ...

Expected result:
----------------
Note that this changes the $matches parameter in an array ...

This bug has been fixed in the documentation's XML sources. Since the
online and downloadable versions of the documentation need some time
to get updated, we would like to ask you to be a bit patient.

Thank you for the report, and for helping us make our documentation better.
