Well, normally this line:
foreach($match[1] as $links) {

would be more like this:
foreach($match as $links) {

The first way always takes just the second entry in $match and ALWAYS will take just that item.
The second version takes all of the items in the $match array and passes them one at a time to the
commands after the foreach…

Also, in the for loop, you are comparing $match[1] array which will always be the same item, not the link as it should be. With your foreach, you pull each value from the $match array and use the data by name of $links. Therefore, you should be testing for $links not $match. Something like: If ($links[1]==$test[1]) …

Hope that helps…
