note 117285 added to function.preg-match-all

The code that john at mccarthy dot net posted is not necessary. If you want your results grouped by individual match simply use: <? preg_match_all($pattern, $string, $matches, PREG_SET_ORDER); ?> E.g. <? preg_match_all('/([GH])([12])([!?])/', 'G1? H2!', $matches); // Default PREG_PATTERN_ORDER // $matches = array(0 => array(0 => 'G1?', 1 => 'H2!'), // 1 => array(0 => 'G', 1 => 'H'), // 2 => array(0 => '1', 1 => '2'), // 3 => array(0 => '?', 1 => '!')) preg_match_all('/([GH])([12])([!?])/', 'G1? H2!', $matches, PREG_SET_ORDER); // $matches = array(0 => array(0 => 'G1?', 1 => 'G', 2 => '1', 3 => '?'), // 1 => array(0 => 'H2!', 1 => 'H', 2 => '2', 3 => '!')) ?> ---- Server IP: 72.52.91.14 Probable Submitter: 1.44.198.2 ---- Manual Page -- http://php.net/manual/en/function.preg-match-all.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/117285 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/117285/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/117285/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/117285/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/117285/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/117285/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/117285/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/117285 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/117285 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
