Sitepoint book by Kevin Yank is my best reminder of the key points.
I use the online php manual for the gory details.

BUT Agent Ransack is a marvelous program that composes them for you, so I seldom refer to the others anymore.

You might want to be careful with that first one, as it could match
good . Admittedly it finds you what you want, but RegExp tends to be greedy. If you want to match both " and ' use ['"] rather than just ["].

Also, for just a single character in [], you can ditch the [] and go for , the [] are to group characters as options for a single character position. At least that's the normal way, I don't know if Dreamweaver does its own hoohah.
