[RESOLVED] Another regex

[scrupul0us]

Tryin to match:

THIS: THIS & THIS / THIS

now it seems to me the regex should go:

preg_match("/(.*):(.*)&(.*)\/(.*)/",$string,$matches);

but the results of matches are not what i expect

Please write what is you expect to get. Because when I execute next code:

<?php
preg_match_all("/(.*):(.*)&(.*)\/(.*)/","THIS  : THIS & THIS / THIS ",$matches);
print_r($matches);

?>

I got array like this:

Array ( [0] => Array ( [0] => THIS : THIS & THIS / THIS ) [1] => Array ( [0] => THIS ) [2] => Array ( [0] => THIS ) [3] => Array ( [0] => THIS ) [4] => Array ( [0] => THIS ) )

Originaly you use preg_match() function what at start wrong, because this function return only boolean value and it told you only about inclusing of pattern to the given string.

Right way it's using the preg_match_all() function.

when viewed from the source it looks like this:

Thu: Showers & High 64°F / Low 49°F

I want:

Thu
Showers
High 64°F
Low 49°F

[PHPist]

<?php
preg_match_all("/(.*): (.*) & (.*) \/ (.*)/","Thu: Showers & High 64&deg;F / Low 49&deg;F",$matches);
print_r($matches);

?>

Array ( [0] => Array ( [0] => Thu: Showers & High 64°F / Low 49°F ) [1] => Array ( [0] => Thu ) [2] => Array ( [0] => Showers ) [3] => Array ( [0] => High 64°F ) [4] => Array ( [0] => Low 49°F ) ) 

This is it? If it is, only use space symbol or [\s].

oddly when i try to assign $matches[0][0] i get an undefine offset error
