undefined offset error in php code example

Example: php undefined offset

If preg_match did not find a match, $matches is an empty array. So you should check if preg_match found an match before accessing $matches[0], for example:

function get_match($regex,$content)
{
    if (preg_match($regex,$content,$matches)) {
        return $matches[0];
    } else {
        return null;
    }
}
