Can you pick a decent subject like "help with regular expressions" rather than something pointless and generic like "a small problem"... a lot of readers will skip over generic subject lines, and you also miss out on attracting the attention of those who regexps well. a good suggestion.

however i saw it anyway, i would suggest to try this: <?PHP

$Text="<?    echo \"aaaa\"; ?> This is some other no php code <?    echo \"this is PHP\";?>";

preg_match_all("|<[^>]+>|",$Text,$PHP_code); //Note that preg_match_all puts the matches in array $PHP_code[0].

        //output

for ($i=0;$i<count($PHP_code[0]);$i++)

        { echo "<br>$i:".htmlspecialchars($PHP_code[0][$i]);
        }

?> Oh and regular expressions are more clever than you would think, it's just that they can do so much more than you think.
