I have a statement if (preg_match('/RAINFALL WARNING FOR:[\s\w\-\=NEW=\'\.]+CALEDON/', $svs)) {
to match a Rainfall Warning for the town of Caledon...however it is saying there is a match for the text below...this is because CALEDONIA has the same first 7 letters as CALEDON...how would I stop this from matching....
Thanks for your help. Dave
