Reproduce code: --------------- $file = 'http://ffvault.ign.com/View.php?view=Locations.List&view_page=1'; $content = file_get_contents($file); // here i try to found a table $found = ereg ('<table>[s|^s|'."\n".'|'."\r".']</table>',$html,$regex); echo $regex[0]; Expected result: ---------------- see just a table Actual result: -------------- the table is not found ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=31631&edit=1
