| constant | description |
|---|---|
| PREG_PATTERN_ORDER | Orders results so that $matches[0] is an array of full pattern matches, $matches[1] is an array of strings matched by the first parenthesized subpattern, and so on. This flag is only used with preg_match_all(). |
| PREG_SET_ORDER | Orders results so that $matches[0] is an array of first set of matches, $matches[1] is an array of second set of matches, and so on. This flag is only used with preg_match_all(). |

| PREG_SPLIT_NO_EMPTY | This flag tells preg_split() to return only non-empty pieces. |

| PREG_SPLIT_OFFSET_CAPTURE | If this flag is set, for every occurring match the appendant string offset will also be returned.
