So if your wanting to see if there is a match in the line and return the
match (which in this example seems pointless because you know that you
are matching ""), then something like this:

if (preg_match("/0/",$data, $matches) ||
    preg_match("/\"\s\"/",$data, $matches))
{
	print_r($matches);
}

BTW, the second and third conditions in your if appeared to be the same,
also \s matches whitespace, spaces, tabs, returns, etc...
