Hello I'm having some trouble trying to get some matches of this text
[b]
James Gosling[/b], Ph.D (born May 19, 1955 near Calgary, Alberta, Canada) is a famous software developer, best known as the father of the Java programming language.

If I was looking in a string for "James Gosling" how can I do to get that match with preg_match_all?

[code]preg_match_all('/\bJames Gosling\b/', $string, $matches);[/code]
This is very very general. It assumes you don't have things like:
[code]Blah blah blah James
Gosling was a great inventor of the...[/code]
It will only match the literal string "James - space -  Gosling". Tell us a bit more about the data you want to look through and we can offer a more specific (read: robust) solution.
