Hello...

I'm wondering - Is there a way to combine two preg matches into one ?

basically, I've got a search system up & running now.. However if a
person puts in certain words/phrases (shortened version of full word),
I want it to search that word/phrase..  *AND* the full-word  in one
step / command...

EG :- (titfw = short version of "this is the full word"

$g=0;
if(preg_match("/titfw/i",$line)){$g=1;}
if(preg_match("/This is the full word/i",$line)){$g=1;}

if($g>0){
 echo "FOUND MATCHING LINE\n";
  Do other stuff .........
}
if($g<1){
 ignore line - Resume loop ...
}

I'll rather do :-


if(preg_match("/SPECIAL TRICK TO GET BOTH WORDS OR PHRASES/i",$line)){
 echo "FOUND MATCHING LINE\n";
  Do other stuff .........
}

Or is my top example a good way ?

(if the person doesnt put a search term in - that matches something I
want - It just performs a regular search - Instead of the 2-word
search...) - I've got a way to do that with only a few extra lines...
- Just need help with above....
