Hi all: I'm trying to find every simple mail address in an HTML that is not inside an A tag. I have tried this regexp: (?<!maito\:)(\w+@\w+(?:\.\w+)+)(?![^<]*?</a>)

Try this (a little more comprehensive) : preg_match_all("|<a(.*?)href=[\"'](.*?)[\"'](.*?)>(.*?)</a>|i", $rawHTML, $arrayoflinks); $links = array_unique($arrayoflinks[0]); $href = array_unique($arrayoflinks[2]); //href= $text = array_unique($arrayoflinks[4]); //link text $text, $href, etc. are arrays. You can print_r() to find out what they contain. -- Burhan Khalid phplist[at]meidomus[dot]com http://www.meidomus.com
