preg regex code example

Example 1: preg_match in php

<?php
//Syntex : int preg_match( $pattern, $input, $matches, $flags, $offset)
  
// Declare a variable and initialize it 
$str = "Check For Testing."; 
  
// case-Insensitive search for the word "Check" 
if (preg_match("/\bCheck\b/i", $str, $match))  
    echo "Matched!"; 
else
    echo "not matched";   
  

// Output : Matched
?>

	string boundary
o 	Evaluates the expression only once
s 	Allows use of . to match a newline character
x 	Allows you to use white space in the expression for clarity
g 	Globally finds all matches
