Question

Heey,

I really don’t get what the problem is. I execute the following piece of code:

<?php
$tomatch='abc 6e t/m 8e uur vervalt';
var_dump($tomatch);
var_dump(preg_match('/([1-9])e t\/m ([1-9])e/',$tomatch));
?>

Which gives me the following answer:

string ‘abc 6e t/m 8e uur vervalt’ (length=25)
int 0

However, inserting the same values in http://regexpal.com/ will give a match.

What am I doing wrong here?

@Beolensman1 The easiest approach would be to str_replace(chr(0xa0), ‘
‘, $str) and then run the regex on it.
