Re: regular expressions

t doesn't work because I have many of these comments thus <!--CODE:0001--> <!--CODE:AB01--> this regexp graps "CODE:0001--><!--CODE:AB01" I have no idea why this is happening. But php did have similar problems on Sparc Solaris before. I still don't get why things like .+? aren't supported, even though they are in posix regexp (I think). This .+ seems to be greedy and graps as many things as it can. That's not the behavior I want. Jason Stechschulte wrote: > There is a man page included with the php distribution.
