Note Submitter: php-manual at leon dot brooks dot fdns dot net ---- Little gotcha with multiple-match regexps (that is, a|b|c): the parenthesised sub-expressions don't `reset' when crossing a | - for example in a(a)a|b(b)b|c(c)c the (a) is \1, the (b) is \2 and the (c) is \3 rather than all being \1. Perhaps it's just too late at night, but that's how I expected it to work: as in, I expected to be able to hunt for multiple |-separated expressions with one call to ereg (or whatever) and have them all pop into the one result array element as $result[1] but instead I need multiple calls to ereg() (or whatever) over the same string.
