RE: [PHP] Preg_match question

Thanks Marco, I worked it out, with trial and error but I will refine what I have by reading your examples. Is there a preg to find a "?" in a string since a "?" is used for calculations as I see it. Thank you and others for all the help with this Dave Carrera -----Original Message----- From: Marco Tabini [mailto:marcot@tabini.ca] Sent: 29 May 2004 13:32 To: 'Dave Carrera'; php-general@lists.php.net Subject: RE: [PHP] Preg_match question I guess the simplest would be to use preg_match_all on '/<a +href="([^"]+)">/i' Assuming that all your links are in that format, this will extract all the contents of the href portion of the links in your string. There was a regex series on our magazine that also covered more complex examples of this kind.
