This isn't an error. It's standard to indicate the "working" return value in the
function prototype, and indicate "or false on failure" in the return values
section.

From manual page: http://www.php.net/function.preg-match#refsect1-function.preg-match-description
---
The description says this function would return "int" only, while the Return Values
section says it could return FALSE also.
