Topic awaiting preservation: Regex in PHP :)

Trying to learn this regex stuff for some php projects, there any good tutorials out there on the subject, i browsed google but i guess i'm just not being quite direct enough or there isn't much ou there for newbies to the stuff...

Anyway at the moment i'd like to know how to use it to check for a . in a variable, but would still like a few good links if anyone has some

Whenever I need regexp I use this to experiment : http://www.quanetic.com/regex.php
It's an online resource where you can test both preg & ereg

PHP comes with a very nice documentation...

Regex pattern syntax: http://www.php.net/manual/en/pcre.pattern.syntax.php
Regex pattern modifiers: http://www.php.net/manual/en/pcre.pattern.modifiers.php

oooh.. thanks for the link DmS

regular expressions are something I've always understood, I can just never quite wrap my head around them when the time comes to use them. I can understand each expression, but start throwing them together so you can use them and I get lost quick

Thanks everyone, most helpful
