Since the Perl regular expression library functions are really the preferred
method of using them in PHP, and because Larry, Tom and Jon do such
an outstanding job of explaining even complex topics, I would recommend
chapter 5 of Programming Perl, 3rd edition:

Pattern Matching

You can get a 14 day trial subscription to:

and access the book online if you don't feel like purchasing the entire thing.

CS = Computer Science
