RE: [PHP-DB] Grabbing string between two other strings.

the ends will not always be the same - they will be pieces of html code tho - ie. <font face=verdana size=2>... I am having a bit of trouble because the ereg function only finds the FIRST result even though the docs refer to matchES [as in more than one]. So. i think that the preg_match_all() looks most promising, however i have not had any luck as yet. thanks much, olinux --- "Jesse S.
