Hi,

A quick regex question which I've worked around for the time being,
but would like an answer to if anyone can help.

I want to match on all strings which end _id, but not those ending
row_id.

Some sample strings:

row_id
parent_id
person_id
person

I'd like to match all but the 1st and last.

I've tried many variants, including

preg_match('/(row)\w{0}_id$/',$subject);
preg_match('/(row){0}_id$/',$subject);
preg_match('/(?!row)_id$/',$subject);

None work correctly. As I say I've worked around this issue as I have
very little time, but would like to know the proper solution.

Thanks in advance. Greg.
