WORKING VERSION:
function grabData($page) {
$lookHere = file_get_contents($page);
preg_match("<pattern>", $lookHere, $found);
}
NON-WORKING VERSION:
function grabData($page) {
preg_match("<pattern>", file_get_contents($page), $found);
}
With that previous, non-working example, $found is an empty array,
while the first example works.

Thank you for this bug report. To properly diagnose the problem, we
need a short but complete example script to be able to reproduce
this bug ourselves.
A proper reproducing script starts with <?php and ends with ?>,
is max. 10-20 lines long and does not require any external
resources such as databases, etc. If the script requires a
database to demonstrate the issue, please make sure it creates
all necessary tables, stored procedures etc.
Please avoid embedding huge scripts into the report.

Description:
------------
When you put file_get_contents('some_file.ext') as a second argument in
preg_match() it doesn't work. However, when you put that
file_get_contents() into a variable, and THEN you insert that variable
as a second argument, it works. At least at remote files (I'm not sure
about local files) and when there is a third argument too.
Reproduce code:
---------------
preg_match("<pattern>", file_get_contents('http://www.example.com'),
$found);
Expected result:
----------------
Found matches in array $found.
Actual result:
--------------
Nothing.
However, when put your script thus:
$url = file_get_contents('http://www.example.com');
preg_match("<pattern>", $url, $found);
then it works.
