pcre_match

NAME

pcre_match() - regular expression handler

SYNOPSIS

mixed pcre_match(string|string *lines, string pattern, void|int flag, void|int pcre_flags);

DESCRIPTION

analog with regexp efun for backwards compatibility reasons but utilizing
the PCRE library.

The optional `pcre_flags` set PCRE options (e.g., `PCRE_I` case-insensitive,
`PCRE_M` multiline). For string input, the 3rd argument is treated as
`pcre_flags`; for array input, the 3rd argument remains the legacy flag and
`pcre_flags` is the 4th argument. Defaults to 0.
