Hi,

I'm experiencing a problem when trying to capture substrings with
preg_match_all() from strings like

"set('Hello','World')"

using the following Regular Expression (PERL syntax):

"/^set\((?:'([^']+)'(?(?!\)),))+\)$/"

The resulting matches array looks like this:

Array
(
[0] => Array
(
[0] => set('Hello','World')
)

[1] => Array
(
[0] => World
)

)

I wonder why "Hello" is not in the matches array. Did I do something
wrong in my Regular Expression?

Thanks in advance.
Ingmar
