Try this:
$pattern = '#function
(\w+)\(((?:\$\w+(?:,\s*\$\w+)*?)|\s*)\)\s*\{[.\s]*((?:return\s+[^;]*\s*;)|)[
.\s]*#m';Notice that \w means: A "word" character is any letter or digit or the underscore character, that is, any character which can be part of a Perl "word". Though, any regexp for this task can be easily fooled; i.e: there's no regexp for all cases; PHP's language cannot be described properly using just a regular expression. Manu.
