preg_match and $ sign in PHP5

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hi,

I have a regular expression check as:

preg_match("/$xyz/", $data, $matches);

And, as you know $xyz means "string starts with xyz". But somehow PHP
5 is interpreting this as variable xyz, and gives the  notice below.
You can ignore the message, but now it matches everything that has
xyz, i.e. aaxyzbb


PHP Notice:  Undefined variable: xyz in /tmp/test.php

Any idea about how I can specify "string starts with xyz" or fix it
such that PHP5 won't recognize this as a variable?

Thanks...
