Description:
------------
if you use preg_quote to escape a string with forward slashes in it, it doesn't quote them.

Reproduce code:
---------------
$file = 'pages/box/test.php';
echo preg_quote($file);

Expected result:
----------------
pages\/box\/test\.php

Actual result:
--------------
pages/box/test\.php

Thank you for taking the time to write to us, but this is not
a bug. Please double-check the documentation available at
http://www.php.net/manual/ and the instructions on how to report
a bug at http://bugs.php.net/how-to-report.php

see http://www.php.net/preg_quote 

echo preg_quote($file, \"/\");

I'm sorry for necroposting.

Why optional value for $delimiter is NULL? I cannot understand, when I must not escape any delimiter? PCRE always requires delimiter for regexp. I think, there are no such situation, when delimiter can be omitted.

OTOH, preg_quote() must not suppose, that delimiter is slash by default due to there are no defaults to delimiter in regexp. In this case, why $delimiter _is_ optional?
