[Bug]: Excel::Import error preg_match(): No ending matching delimiter ')' found

[pathros]

Is the bug applicable and reproducable to the latest version of the package and hasn't it been reported before?

• Yes, it's still reproducable

What version of Laravel Excel are you using?

3.1.48

What version of Laravel are you using?

9.52.4

What version of PHP are you using?

8.2.3

Describe your issue

This error wasn't happening. I suspect this error showed up after upgrading the Laravel project's dependencies, including the Laravel framework.

ErrorException preg_match(): No ending matching delimiter ')' found
PHP 8.2.3. Laravel 9.52.4

code that is getting the error (which previously was working fine)

<?php
use Maatwebsite\Excel\Facades\Excel;

class Import extends Page implements HasForms
{     
       //...
       Excel::import($import_excel_file, $data['excel_file'],'excel'); //ERROR HERE
       //...
}

Any idea how to fix this?

How can the issue be reproduced?

It might be reproduced by updating to the latest versions of Laravel and this package's.

What should be the expected behaviour?

Let the Excel file data import work.

Please share the full stacktrace, it's not clear which file throws the error. It sounds like an error in your own code
