I have a regular expression check as:
preg_match("/$xyz/", $data, $matches);
And, as you know $xyz means "string starts with xyz". But somehow PHP
5 is interpreting this as variable xyz, and gives the notice below.
You can ignore the message, but now it matches everything that has
xyz, i.e. aaxyzbb
Either use single quotes:
preg_match('/$xyz/', $data, $matches);
or escape the $-sign:
preg_match("/\$xyz/", $data, $matches);
