PHP Regular Expressions
Notes:
A regular expression is enclosed between two forward slashes “//“. Hash signs # or tildes ~ can also be used (these characters are called delimiters).
eg. $exp = “/php/“; – search for the occurence of string ‘php’
Special/meta-characters:
* Match zero or more of the preceding expression
+ Match one or more occurences of the preceding expression
? Match zero or one of the preceding expression
() brackets can be used to mark out sub patterns.

Google translate Firefox problem (not working on Apple Mac)
If the Google Translate drop down menu of languages does not open, or appears empty when the Google Translate tool is clicked in Firefox, the problem is usually caused by an issue with the Flash plugin, or the Flash plugin being blocked.
The solution is to re-install the latest Flash plugin from Adobe:
get.adobe.com/flashplayer/
Alternatively, try turning off any Flash blocking software that may be installed.
