PCRE Cheat Sheet


11th September 2005, 3309 views

Inspired by the great stuff at ilovejackdaniels.com, here's a dedicated PCRE cheat sheet. The PHP cheat sheet at ILoveJackDaniels is fine enough, but PCRE goes way beyond what is there. Hence, this. Enjoy.

Looks good and much quicker than going to php.net every time I have to look up someting related to PCRE (is that pronounced "pecker" or "peeker"?)

One thing, on Mac OS X 10.3.9, The PDF is two pages with the second page being completely blank. It's not a real issue but thought you'd like to know in case you're a perfectist like myself.

Dunno. I always pronounce it "pee-kree".

The only thing I noticed lacking was any mention of using "?" after "*" or "+" to affect the current state of greediness -- something I use all the time.
