Hi, in php 7.3 I get the error message:

Warning: preg_match(): Compilation failed: invalid range in character class at offset 4 i simple_html_dom->read_tag() (linje 1364 av /var/www/html/web/sites/default/libraries/simplehtmldom/simple_html_dom.php).

It's a known issue with changes in the regex parser in php, see for instance https://github.com/sunra/php-simple-html-dom-parser/issues/64

Downgrading to php 7.2 will solve it.

I updated the library to 1.7 manually, and site works on php 7.3 again. Here's a patch I believe should work, however I have not tested it with a fresh install

I didn't try the .make file but the upgrade to the 1.7 version resolves the issue for me too. My case is migration from PHP 7.2 (where everything was fine) to PHP 7.4. Thank you, @vegardjo!

Patch #3 has the wrong path: web/sites/default/modules/contrib/simplehtmldom/simplehtmldom.make.
