The returned matches array contains as the first element the entire string matched, followed by the captured groups.
I can’t locate an option on php.net to just return the captured groups?
Is there one?
No, it is standard for
0to contain the entire matched string.If it were of a concern, you could always
unset($matches[0])(which won’t affect the keys) orarray_slice($matches, 1).
