bigD Posted January 16, 2011 Share Posted January 16, 2011 OK, I am officially stumped. I am trying to match a '[]' at the end of a string. Using $ to anchor doesn't work, nor does \z. $name = "cities[]"; if (preg_match("/\[\]\z/", $name)) { // why do I net get in here?? } Thanks.

requinix Posted January 16, 2011 Share Posted January 16, 2011 Works for me. Is that your actual code or did you try to simplify it? Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/224645-stumped-with-preg_match-call/#findComment-1160387 Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigD Posted January 16, 2011 Author Share Posted January 16, 2011 Works for me. Is that your actual code or did you try to simplify it? That is my actual code, except for hardcoding $name, which I output on debug, and it is correct...

requinix Posted January 16, 2011 Share Posted January 16, 2011 And you're sure it's correct? Doesn't have spaces or newlines at the end? preg_match("/\[\]\z/", trim($name)) Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/224645-stumped-with-preg_match-call/#findComment-1160394 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was getting stale data from a mentally challenged programmer. All is well. How do I close/mark solved this thread?
