O.P. preg_match() help!!!
Hello there,

I can't figure out for the life of me, to get preg_match() to work with arrays for example (this is not my real code, just something im exampling with off the top of my head)

code:

$comment = $_POST['comment'];
$check_for = array('/test/', '/hello/');

if(preg_match($check_for, $comment)) {
echo "hello";
} else {
echo "nope";
}

RE: preg_match() help!!!
code:
$comment = $_POST['comment'];
$check_for = array('/test/', '/hello/');

foreach ($check_for as $dt_sucks)
{
   if(preg_match($dt_sucks, $comment))
         echo "hello";
   else
         echo "nope";
}

The previous sentence is false. The following sentence is true.

http://php.net/preg_match he might have noticed that the signature says

array != string :P so a foreach or for is needed

http://uk.php.net/preg_match :
Do not use preg_match() if you only want to check if one string is contained in another string. Use strpos() or strstr() instead as they will be faster.
