Matching Patterns with preg_match()
 
preg_match() accepts four arguments: 
    a regular expression string, 
    a source string, 
    an array variable (which stores matches)
    and an optional fourth flag argument. 
    
preg_match() returns if a match is found and otherwise. 
These numbers represent the number of matches the function can make in a string. 


<?
print "<pre>\n";
print preg_match("/is/""this is a test", $array"\n";
print_r$array );
print "</pre>\n";
?>
