Description:
------------
If the character '<' is used as a delimitier preg_replace forces the character '>' as ending delimiter. '<' is not working in this case. While using '>' as starting delimiter for the RegEx '>' is awaited to be used as the ending delimiter also.

Test script:
---------------
preg_replace('<p<', '', 'Apple');

Several delimiters are special cased:

> It is also possible to use bracket style delimiters where the opening and closing brackets are the starting and ending delimiter, respectively. (), {}, [] and <> are all valid bracket style delimiter pairs.
