Here is one example: Reproduce code: --------------- $word='µÚ 1 Òô¹ì'; if (preg_match('/^(\D+?) +?(\d{1,}) +?(\D+?)$/',$word,$match)) { print "$match[1]\n$match[2]\n$match[2]\n"; }; //If i remove the '^' and '$' - it works //But than expression is not exactly what i want coz it //begins to match other stuff in different strings. Expected result: ---------------- µÚ 1 Òô¹ì Actual result: -------------- nono..nothing niks given code works perfectly in perl ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=32314&edit=1
