A good experimenting tool for Regex is "The Regex Coach"

I can't recommend it highly enough.

There's a couple places where it differs from PHP, and you have to
escape stuff in PHP once you figure out what PCRE wants, but it's
definitely a very good laboratory for PCRE.

Sometimes, though, experimenting only leads to more and more
frustration, as PCRE can seem quite random, rather than designed...
