Regular Expression :: Find Word Matches To Words In A Comma-delimited List
What's the *right* way to find word matches to words in a comma-delimited list. For example, if I have the following comma-delimited list of categories in a mysql db field: gameboy, nintendo, playstation and I do a search, I know I can use regexp to do something like: select * from categories where regexp 'gameboy,' Notice that I have the comma in there to match the whole word and the comma without matching part of a word (to prevent unwanted matches such as "play" to "playstation" or "game" to "gameboy"). The problem I'm running into is words that match that match the end of each word next to the comma (in this example, "boy" and "station"). What's the right way to match a word *exactly* using regexp *without* also matching *part* of a word.

Use Of Complex (Curly Bracket) Syntax
If I use the curly bracket syntax (referred to as the complex syntax) within a string, how do I get to call a function within it? The php manual says that the first (or previous) character for the curly bracket has to be a dollar sign '$'. This is fine for variables, arrays and some objects but doesn't allow me to call a function such as addslashes() or trim() before I return the string in the variable. I have tried using assignment, concatenation and even methods of an instantiated object and have found the parser refuses to allow the equal '=' sign, fullstop '.', or even a standard left bracket '(' within the complex curly brackets. For example, I had expected the following to work: $x = ""; $string = <<<EOT This is a text string ... .... {$x . addslashes(trim($myinput1))} ... .... {$x . addslashes(trim($myinput2))} ... more text etc ..... EOT; It doesn't work, the parser objects to the full stop symbol '.' Worse still, the following was objected to $string = "This is text .. {$x->myGetMethod($specifier)} .. more text etc "; The refusal to accept a left bracket here means that it is not a real object oriented language as you can't always get to objects within complex syntax! Considering that they have called this the complex syntax, I think that it is very poorly implemented. My expectation was that any legal PHP expression should be able to be used inside the braces so long as it resulted in a string. It is far from that! Strangely, I have read (but haven't tried) that the following expression works: $string = "This is text {${$result ? 'var1' : 'var2'}} .. more text etc "; Can anybody please tell me some way to use a function within the curly bracket (complex) syntax? (without a discussion on faults of Heredoc or doing it without the complex syntax)
