Re: [PHP4BETA] Wildcards in php?

Matt Greene writes: > Do wildcards exist in php or not? > If so how are they used? If you're asking about matching strings with wildcards, then yes, they do. Check out the manual entries on the regular expression functions; there are a pile of them: http://www.php.net/manual/ref.pcre.php3 http://www.php.net/manual/ref.regex.php3 Also check out the syntax explanation (in manpage format) in the file regex/regex.7 in the PHP distribution. You will probably need to format it to view it: in Linux, this can usually be done with something like: % man ./regex.7 Torben
