Description:
------------
if possible add a constant to make preg_match_all return a 
number of how many matches there were e.g. PREG_COUNT, 
PREG_COUNT_MATCHES, or something like that it would be very 
useful and alot eaisier than running a while loop over the 
code and incrementing variables in the loop

Reproduce code:
---------------
none

Actual result:
--------------
none

It already does this, see the documentation at: http://uk.php.net/preg_match_all

i do not see where it returns the complete number of results 
matched, could you point this out to me

It's simply the return value of the function.. .it's in the manual so please read it once more.

oh, i see its kinda out of place i think the text "Returns the 
number of full pattern matches (which might be zero), or FALSE 
if an error occurred." should be in bold or a note or 
itacilised to make it more noticable :), thank you
