Actually I think I'm the one that is dreaming awake. ;)
Operation + vicodin = fuzzy head.
The math is amazing if it really works for you, and thanks for
explaining what your doing.
But my comments on the regex still stand. Just to be sure you
understand that the match is
working in this case because you are matching the whole string, which
is what is in $year[0].
It would return the same results if you used the "normal" string
delimiter, not sure that's the
right term for it, of a forward slash instead of the parenthesis. ie
preg_match('/[0-2][0-9][0-9][0-9]/', $input, $year);
^ ^
But in the end it's what works that counts, eh? ;)
