Just want to know the difference between preg_match and preg_match_all.

preg_match stops after the first match.
preg_match_all gets *all* the matches.

E.g. If you have a string -> $str = "foofoo";
preg_match('/foo/', $str, $match); -> $match will have an array with one "foo".
preg_match_all('/foo/', $str, $match); -> $match will have an array with two "foo".


Thats basically it.
