PHP has two different RE extensions - Posix and Perl compatible (PCRE). The
'Regex Coach' seems to work with the latter. They are very similar up to a
point. I've gone over to using POSIX RE's almost exclusively as Javascript
RE's works with the same syntax. The Wikipedia page on regular expressions
has some links to tools for playing with RE's in javascript.
