[PHP3] Regex help From: Alan Baer (abbaer <email protected>)
Date: 01/13/99

I'm doing some regular expressions and am having trouble with the PHP syntax.
I'm used to perl style regex.

Specifically, how do you do non-greedy matching? I'm trying to extract some
<SELECT>...</SELECT> statements from a file. Here's what gets me, greedily, lots
of select statements:

ereg("(\<SELECT.*\</SELECT>)",$contents,$regs);

More generally, is there a reference for the style of regex that PHP uses? The
docs mention POSIX complient, but a pointer to what that means would be nice...
