Converting PERL regular expression to PHP?

[Con]

Hi, I'm in the process of converting some PERL to PHP. Thus, is it
possible to leave the following line as is:

if ($id =~ /vvvvv/g) {

...

}

If not, can someone provide PHP equivalent? BTW, I have checked the
syntax using 'php -l' because I'm not an expert of PERL but I'm using
various references to do the conversion. However, I was able to locate
this particular construct.

Thanks in advance,

-Conrad

Hi, the last couple of sentences should read:

The php equivalent is

if(preg_match('/vvvvv/', $id)) {

I'm quite sure that you won't need the "g".

See
