If memory serves, $match will contain an array whose 0th element is the
entire string and whose 1st element contains whatever is matched in the
first (), 2nd element matches the second () and so on.
Check the manpage for more...
and when testing things like this out try adding the following for
debugging reasons:
print("<pre>");
print_r($match);
print("</pre>");
that will let you see what $match looks like in its entirety.
good luck
