PHP regular expression viewer

Description

I know nothing on regular expressions. When I was trying to build some, I was using an Tcl/Tk visualisation program called VisualREGEXP http://laurent.riesterer.free.fr/regexp

Unfortunately, there is some differencies between TCL and PHP regex (search option for example)

In order to be able to build and test my regular expressions, i build a small PHP script nemad regexp_view. It highlight capturing part of the regexp. As it can be useful for somebody else, I made it available here.

Be carefull, it is a quick coding and leak of lots of check in data given by the form. As it is intend to be used by programmers who use it locally on a developpement machine and who knows what they are doing, it should not be a problem.
