PHP regular expression to behave like mysql match?

Regular expression may not be the best solution for your needs, try instead the PHP construct similar_text() : php.net/manual/en/function.similar-text.php The function returns the similarity between two strings in percentage and the number of matching chars.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
