REGEX is short for "Regular Expressions"
It gives you a "smarter" way to manupulate strings.
The PHP manual has some good docs on reg.ex. - see section LXXXIV and LXXXVI

Subject: [PHP] What is REGEX ?
Hello! I am new to REGEX.
I tried to read several posts on REGEX. However none were descriptive.
What is Regex ?
Is it a part of the php? or an additional module?
What can it be used for ?
Please let me know
Thank you.
Lord Loh.
