get_regex_all

Description

Returns an array containing all parts of the argument string that match the given regular expression (which may be empty if nothing matches.) The last parameter specifies optional regular expression flags:

• c - Enables case-sensitive matching (default.)

• i - Enables case-insensitive matching.

• m - Enables multi-line mode (i.e. meta-characters ^ and $ match the beginning and end of any line of the input string.) By default, multi-line mode is disabled (i.e. ^ and $ match the beginning and end of the entire input string.)

• s - Enables the POSIX wildcard character . to match \n (newline.) By default, . does not match \n.

For more about regular expression syntax, see POSIX extended regular expressions.
