Some of the confusion around regexes is caused because there is no regex literal (and type) in PHP. This way, you have to type \\\\ to get one literal backslash in the regex instead of just two... I don't say this needs to be changed, but it would be nice if such a thing existed (and even nicer if those literals could be used with both posix and pcre)... -- Regards, Stefan Walk <swalk@prp.physik.tu-darmstadt.de>
