preg_match function

[Heero]

Hi all,

 

I was using the preg_match function like this:

 

echo preg_match("//i", "\"Yes\"");

 

And this turns out to return 1 indicating that there is a match...but it's not what I want.  If the string is empty then it shouldn't be returning true for a match with the string Yes..

 

I was wondering whether there were any other modifiers like the /i modifier that could solve this problem?

 

I could use an if statement to first check if the string was empty, but that seems pointless.

 

Any suggestions?

Anyone have any ideas?
