Question

I have a string with a number of ‘shortcodes’ in thus (just using an example):

$str = "http://www.aaa...\n
         http://www.bbb...";

I’m trying to match each one independantly using preg_match() thus:

pregmatch( '/\/', $str, $matches );

Now I expect count($matches); to return ‘2’. But I only get 1 each time. Is my regular expression wrong? I need to assaign each to a new array item so I can deal with them individually.

Thanks

You need to use preg_match_all:

preg_match_all( '/\[video.*\]/', $str, $matches );
