It covers a lot of the whys and hows of what regular expressions do, too (I never realized there were different flavors under the hood until I read this book). It does go in-depth into Perl, but doesn't cover PHP specifically as far as I recall. Excellent book - one of the most valuable I own (and I've got a shelf and a half of just O'Reilly titles behind me). -- The world is divided into people who think they are right. -Diedre McGrath
