Description:
------------
The var_dump() function from php now show's a colored output which makes the main regex from the class unusable. all matches are empty, so there is nothing returned.

i think at least a pear error should be thrown?

i don't know in which php version this has been changed, the documentation seems to be out of date for this change.

Reproduce code:
---------------
this shows the var_dump() change, copied from http://www.zend.com/manual/function.var-dump.php

<?php
$a = array (1, 2, array ("a", "b", "c"));
var_dump($a);
?>

Expected result:
----------------
array(3) {
[0]=>
int(1)
[1]=>
int(2)
[2]=>
array(3) {
[0]=>
string(1) "a"
[1]=>
string(1) "b"
[2]=>
string(1) "c"
}
}

Actual result:
--------------
<pre>
<b>array</b>
0 <font color='#777777'>=></font> <font color='#00bb00'>1</font>
1 <font color='#777777'>=></font> <font color='#00bb00'>2</font>
2 <font color='#777777'>=></font>
<b>array</b>
0 <font color='#777777'>=></font> <font color='#bb00bb'>'a'</font>
1 <font color='#777777'>=></font> <font color='#bb00bb'>'b'</font>
2 <font color='#777777'>=></font> <font color='#bb00bb'>'c'</font>
