I'm looking for a multi-byte function to replace `preg_match_all()`. I need one that will give me an array of matched strings, like the `$matches` argument from `preg_match()`. The function `mb_ereg_match()` doesn't seem to do it -- it only gives me a boolean indicating if there were any matches. 

Looking at the mb\_\* functions [page](http://www.php.net/manual/en/ref.mbstring.php), I don't offhand see anythng that replaces the functionality of `preg_match()`. What do I use?

**Edit** I'm an idiot. I originally posted this question asking for a replacement for `preg_match`, which of course is `ereg_match`. However both those only return the first result. What I wanted was a replacement for `preg_match_all`, which returns all match texts. But anyways, the `u` modifier works in my case for `preg_match_all`, as hakre pointed out.
