Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2007-01-24 15:18:16] user at devnull dot org Read the documentation, you need delimiters around the expression. Since ^ is the first character its making that the delimiter. /^(.+)$/ works. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2007-01-24 15:08:15] oliver dot christen at camptocamp dot com Description: ------------ when using preg_match, the end delimiter of regexp expression is now expected to be ^, breaking all compability. shouldnt the end delimiter be '$' ?
