preg_match stops after the first match.
preg_match_all gets *all* the matches.

E.g. If you have a string -> $str = "foofoo";
preg_match('/foo/', $str, $match); -> $match will have an array with one
"foo".
preg_match_all('/foo/', $str, $match); -> $match will have an array with
two "foo".

Thats basically it.
