Regexp - How to match all words except strict ones?
I would recommend taking a look at Rexegg — Word Boundaries.
If you want to match lines not containing "home" itself, you can do:
preg_match_all('/^(?!.*\bhome\b).*$/im', $str, $matches);If you want to match the words alone:
preg_match_all('/\b(?!home\b)\w+/i', $str, $matches);
