I have a file to this effect, from which I want to retrieve the name of the opening variable $ACDF_array using
preg_match("/\$[^\s]*/",$line,$matches);
<?php
$file = fopen(/folder/somefile.php, 'r');
$line = fgets
($file);
fclose($file);
preg_match("/\$[^\s]*/",$line,$matches); //starting with literal $ match every character until \s is reached - hopefully that is what this regex expression means
print_r($matches);
somefile.php:
<?php $ACDF_array = array (
0 =>
array (
'"No_"' => '"II00540"',
'"Manufacturer ID"' => '"MAN-ID-GNRCABNW-02"',

),
...
Yet the only thing printed is
Array
(
[0] =>
)
I tested the regex match on regexr.com and it definitely matches what I expect it to match. Am I misunderstanding how preg_match works?
