Simple PHP Regex String Starts With

php, regex

Solution

$result = preg_match("#^startText(.*)$#i", $string);
if($result == 0)
{
    echo "No match";
}
else
{
    echo "Match found.";
}

PHP.net Regular Expressions

`preg_match` returns either `0` for no matches found, or `1`, because `preg_match` stops at the first match. If you want to count all matches, use `preg_match_all`.

Check the PHP website if you have more trouble.

Problem

I am looking for the regex to stet if a string starts with another string. This has to be RegEx and it has to be PHP regex.
