Description:
------------
I am trying to filter numbers from the end of a string in a array.

i have a array full of these strings :

$testArr = array('foto_1','foto_45');

$resArr = preg_grep('/[0-9]*$/',$testArr);

and the $resArr array that gets returned from preg_grep, contains the same
strings, i am looking for a array that contains just the numbers that were 
filtered using the regex



Test script:
---------------
<?php

$testArr = array('foto_1','foto_45');

$resArr = preg_grep('/[0-9]*$/',$testArr);

print_r($resArr);

?>

Expected result:
----------------
to see a array full of the numbers what were at the end of the string in the 
input array

something like this :

Array
(
    [0] => 1
    [1] => 45
)

Actual result:
--------------
Array
(
    [0] => foto_1
    [1] => foto_45
)

Thank you for taking the time to write to us, but this is not
a bug. Please double-check the documentation available at
http://www.php.net/manual/ and the instructions on how to report
a bug at http://bugs.php.net/how-to-report.php

There is no bug here... preg_grep is not meant to return the group captured data separately... You need to use preg_match()/preg_match_all() for such.
