Description:
------------

From manual page: http://www.php.net/function.preg-last-error
---
There are cases where preg_match returns false and preg_last_error returns 0 but, when you check the error.log file there is an error:

PHP message: PHP Warning:  preg_match(): Compilation failed: regular expression is too large at offset 128

Just as a reminder: this bug was detected and fixed previously here: https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=52732&edit=2

Test script:
---------------
$sRegex = "/([A-Z]|[a-z]|[0-9]| |Ñ|ñ|!|"|%|&|'|´|-|:|;|>|=|<|@|_|,|\{|\}|`|~|á|é|í|ó|ú|Á|É|Í|Ó|Ú|ü|Ü){1,300}/";
$sTest = "Hello world";

var_dump(preg_match($sRegex, $sTextoPrueba)); // returns false
var_dump(preg_last_error()); // returns 0

Confirmed: <https://3v4l.org/1eUf6>.

Seems there is

    PCRE_G(error_code) = PHP_PCRE_INTERNAL_ERROR;

missing around <https://github.com/php/php-src/blob/PHP-7.1.2/ext/pcre/php_pcre.c#L499>.
