ah okay, thanks. never saw that before and I have done quiet much with regex - i am only comfortable with the /regex/i syntax, I think its confusing cause also the ^ marks the beginning and the $ the end.
@armorfist: please do not buy the oreilly book, its really too hardly diving into the regex. I found personally the best regex leson in the famous PHP Book from famous "we all thank you" Mr. "Rasmus Leerdorf".
Regex gets even more powerful, when you are using them in your mysql-queries, its not always the best performance solution there - but you can really do fancy stuff with just a bit of codedust.
