preg_match_all issue

[TheTosh]

I can only get 3 results per array when I use this expression:

preg_match_all('#\*([0-9a-zA-Z_]+)="(.*?)";#', $data, $vardata);

When I use it on this string:

*file_name="test";
*file_size="128121";
*file_type="image/jpeg";
*file_real="fc294910cd_1024968.jpg";

I only get file_name, file_size, and file_type...

array(3) { ["file_name"]=> string(4) "test" ["file_size"]=> string(6) "128121" ["file_type"]=> string(10) "image/jpeg" }

For some reason file_real is left out? Anyone want to help? I'm using this to store variables in a mySQL table so i don't need multiple tables.

Well, It works for me.

This code:

<?php
$data = '*file_name="test";
*file_size="128121";
*file_type="image/jpeg";
*file_real="fc294910cd_1024968.jpg";';


preg_match_all('#\*([0-9a-zA-Z_]+)="(.*?)";#', $data, $vardata);

var_dump($vardata);

?> 

produces this output:

array
  0 => 
    array
      0 => string '*file_name="test";' (length=18)
      1 => string '*file_size="128121";' (length=20)
      2 => string '*file_type="image/jpeg";' (length=24)
      3 => string '*file_real="fc294910cd_1024968.jpg";' (length=36)
  1 => 
    array
      0 => string 'file_name' (length=9)
      1 => string 'file_size' (length=9)
      2 => string 'file_type' (length=9)
      3 => string 'file_real' (length=9)
  2 => 
    array
      0 => string 'test' (length=4)
      1 => string '128121' (length=6)
      2 => string 'image/jpeg' (length=10)
      3 => string 'fc294910cd_1024968.jpg' (length=22)

So it works all right.

Not for me though... so that makes me wonder what i did wrong...

I just fixed it though, Instead of running through the first array of "vardump" I ran through key 0, so that inturn has 4 results, so it did what I wanted. Curious as to why it didn't work before though.
