regular expression and forward slash

by

Try to begin and end your regular expression with different sign than /

I personally use `

I’ve seen people using #

I think most chars are good. You can read more about it here: http://pl.php.net/manual/en/regexp.reference.delimiters.php

Like this:

 preg_match('#time/emit#', $subject);  // instead of /time/emit/

To put it another way: Your $find variable should contain rather #time/emit# than /time/emit/
