I believe that in recent versions of PHP, the preg_* functions will accept an array as an argument... Or maybe I dreamed that.

FYI I thought this also... but it appears that you can only do one match at a time with preg_match(). The only one I found that allows the array syntax that you're referring to above is preg_replace(). All the same you can still set up an array full of regex patterns, loop through each of these, and do whatever you want with those matches. <?php $regs = array(

          '/match this text/',
          '/match this/',
          '/match/'
        );
$text = "Why don't you run this code and see if you can match this example?";

$matches = array(); foreach($regs as $regex) { preg_match($regex, $text, $matches[]); } print_r($matches); ?> -- NEW? | http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html STFA | http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=php-general&w=2 STFM | http://php.net/manual/en/index.php STFW | http://www.google.com/search?q=php
