I believe that in recent versions of PHP, the preg_* functions will accept
an array as an argument... Or maybe I dreamed that.
FYI I thought this also... but it appears that you can only do one match
at a time with preg_match(). The only one I found that allows the array
syntax that you're referring to above is preg_replace().
All the same you can still set up an array full of regex patterns, loop
through each of these, and do whatever you want with those matches.
<?php
$regs = array(
'/match this text/',
'/match this/',
'/match/'
);
$text = "Why don't you run this code and see if you can match this
example?";
$matches = array();
foreach($regs as $regex) {
preg_match($regex, $text, $matches[]);
}
print_r($matches);
?>
