Unfortunately I did a slight mistake in my contribution on Dec/21/2003. I apologize it. In the last section "Firstly a string ..." I erroneously described the moving of the pointer when the lookahead feature is used. It shall be replaced by the following explanation: Firstly the regular expression tries to match the string "cg". If true the regular expression looks ahead whether a 'c' can be matched. It this matching is true too, the pointer is going to be moved to the end of the previously matched string "cg". But despite of the occurence of the character 'c' that follows the string "cg" the pointer is not moved to the end of the complete string "cgc". Now from the new pointer position the function preg_match_all searches for the next occurence of the string "cgc". ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.substr-count.php Edit -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+38480 Delete -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+38480&report=yes Reject -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+38480&report=yes Search -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
