Patterns don't use /

[fidian]

According to the examples I've seen on mailing lists, JSON Schema's patterns look like this:

{
    "type": "string",
    "pattern": "^[a-zA-Z]*$"
}

Your tests assume they start and end with a slash.

Is there any update on this pull request? I see that the other JSON schema project asked you to join their forces (and that's awesome), but I'd still love for this library to get this bug fixed.

+1 on the need

Even if there is a good solution to this problem, I don't know the odds of it getting merged in after 9 months. I'll try to stay hopeful though.

Still hopeful after 2 years 3 months?

Backticks don't have any special meaning within the regex AND can be used as delimiters (if escaped), therefore I believe this code should work:

if (!preg_match('' . str_replace('', '', $schema->pattern) . '', $entity)) {
