So your \$ should be \\\$, because PHP will "eat" the \\ and turn that into \ and then PHP will "eat" the \$ and turn that into $, and then you'll be passing \$ to Regex. As it stands now, your Regular expression is: ^$[0-9+... which is basically an invalid expression, as it has a bunch of crap trailing after the new-line ($) symbol.
