PHP
This reference covers PHP
4.3’s Perl-style regular expression support
contained within the preg
routines. PHP also
provides POSIX-style regular expressions, but these do not offer
additional benefit in power or speed. The preg
routines use a Traditional NFA match engine. For an explanation of
the rules behind an NFA engine, see Section 1.2.
