The verb admit
Raymond Murphy says in his book that the a verb when followed by admit takes the ing form. For example: She admitted making a mistake.
But I've seen on the internet that a verb followed by admit can take the + to infinitive form too. For example: The new law was generally admitted to be difficult to enforce.
The question is: Is Raymond Murphy wrong?

Hi, both "-ing" and "to + infinitive" form is acceptable, I think. By the way, Raymond Murphy is such a well-educated man that I highly doubt he is wrong about this case.
