Regex digit plus sign digit

[mathceleb]

The variable "add_count" is always 1. Here is what I tried:

PHP Code:

$n="6+0+1";
$add_count = preg_match_all('/-?\d+(\+)\d+/', $n, $match2); 


Also tried this:

PHP Code:

$n="6+0+1";
$add_count = preg_match_all('/\b-?\d+(\+)\d+$/', $n, $match2); 


It still evaluates to 1 and not 2.

The first expression matches to 6+0 and then decides that +1 doesn't match.

The second one matches 0+1 and then doesn't have any further content to check.

So on both cases there is only one number+number that can be matched (given that the search for another match starts from the end of the previously matched text).
