Always escape double quotes to avoid errors, even if you don't need to. bad practice: $foo = preg_match('/<h2 class="bengali">.*?<\/h2>/', $bigTextChunk, $myArray); good practice: $foo = preg_match("/<h2 class=\"bengali\">.*?<\/h2>/", bigTextChunk, $myArray); Bad practice can cause mysterious errors as it happened in my case. ---- Server IP: 103.21.58.61 Probable Submitter: 103.240.96.225 ---- Manual Page -- http://php.net/manual/en/function.preg-match.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/115920 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/115920/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/115920/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/115920/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/115920/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/115920/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/115920/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/115920 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/115920 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
