PREG matching

[Logical]

I'm trying to match:
<image=1,right>
- or -
<image=1>

where the 1 and 'right' become parameters.

So far I have:
preg_match_all('#<image=(.+?),(.+?)> | <image=([^>]+)#msi', $body,
$image_tags);

and

$image_count = preg_match_all('#<image=([^>]+)#msi', $body, $image_tags);

I'm trying to see if I can get them both into the one regexep, I assume
I have to use an alternative | somewhere, just not sure where.

Can anyone help?

Of course I had to make a mistake in pasting my code.

That should have read:
preg_match_all('#<image=(.+?),(.+?)>#msi', $body, $image_tags);
and
preg_match_all('#<image=([^>]+)#msi', $body, $image_tags);

That should have read:
preg_match_all('#<image=(.+?),(.+?)>#msi', $body, $image_tags);
and
preg_match_all('#<image=([^>]+)#msi', $body, $image_tags);

Try (untested)

preg_match_all('#<image=(.+)(,(.+))?>#isU', $body, $image_tags);

I could be wrong, but wouldn't it be easier (or anyways take less processing
time) to do a str_replace()? Ex:

<?php
$params=explode( "|",
str_replace(
array( "<image=", ",", ">" ), array( "", "|", "" ), $body
)
);

print_r($params);
?>

My mistake. That logic would require that $body contains only the line
<image=1,right> and nothing else before or after the tag. Please ignore
me...
