note 46912 added to function.preg-match

Has anyone determined how to do something like... preg_match return true on a string that is any length of numbers at the end, and a maximum of one text character at the front? preg_match("/^[M][0-9.]$/",$str) for example that should return true to m5456456 m5 m0005675675 etc.... But I always get a false. I only get true when I take the dollar sign out.... Isn't the dollar sign default to end-of-line marker?
