No, it will return the entire matching pattern, not just the sub- matches. I added the trim to remove any leading space, and there will nearly always be a trailing space because of the part of my pattern that defines a word will include it. It was simpler to use trim than to make the pattern skip it. Did you actually try it?
On the other hand, I think we have to place a caret after the first slash.
Only if you insist that your string must start with a word - putting a ^ at the start would make it omit the first word if there was a space in front if it.
Instead of preg_match(), I had to type preg_replace():
err. I think you missed the point here. You don't need all that messy substr stuff at all. The preg_match already did it.
