Description:
------------
preg_quote does not escape the "-" (minus) character but it should.
Reproduce code:
---------------
preg_quote("0-9", '/')
Expected result:
----------------
preg_quote("0-9", '/') == "0\-9"
Actual result:
--------------
preg_quote("0-9", '/') == "0-9"
Depending on the used string this can become a dead loss of the used regular expression because all characters become valid.

The '-' just have special meaning in the regex when used whithin '[ ]', which are escaped as expected. So, there is no possibility to '-' break something. var_dump(preg_quote("[0-2]")); // string(7) "\[0-2\]"preg_match('/^([a-zA-Z0-9\-'.preg_quote("!#$%&'*+/=?^_`{|}~.", '/').']{1,64})@(.*)$/', $address, $matches) But this will become a problem, when mixing like shown above. An escaped "-" outside of [...] does no harm, but an unescaped "-" inside does.preg_match('/^([a-zA-Z0-9'.preg_quote("!#$%&'*+-/=?^_`{|}~.", '/').']{1,64})@(.*)$/', $address, $matches) This will not work. I got this regexp from an example somewhere in the docs, so it seems that I'm not the only one who has built this into his application.
