Re: PHP_OFFSET_CAPTURE

Documentation is little unclear about this, by return means the third argument. Try print_r($hits); Joerg H. Baach wrote:

Hi, I have this litte tiny test-script test.php: <? $var= preg_match_all("|a(b)+|","abbabbabbaa",$hits, PREG_OFFSET_CAPTURE); print '$var: '; print_r($var); ?> I would asume that $var would be an array, containing the offsets of the found matches. Instead it is just a simple integer containing the number of matches. Pretty much looks like preg_match_all is not returning the right thing.
