note 53987 added to function.preg-match

what do you have to do if you want some string not to be inside your text? e.g. You've got the strings "hello, my world" and "hello world" and you want to find out which of these hasn't "my" inside.. Beacuse I want to create a dynamic search it isn't possible to say if ( ! preg_match ($reg, $string)) ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.preg-match.php Edit -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+53987 Delete: added to the manual -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+53987&report=yes&reason=added+to+the+manual Delete: bad code -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+53987&report=yes&reason=bad+code Delete: spam -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+53987&report=yes&reason=spam Delete: useless -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+53987&report=yes&reason=useless Delete: non-english -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+53987&report=yes&reason=non-english Delete: other reasons -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+53987&report=yes Reject -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+53987&report=yes Search -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
