Hi, I have a string like this, read from an html file: ' VALUE="16">' The value could be any number. I am trying to get that number. I have this so far, i was hoping someone might tell me how to get that number: <?php $handle = fopen("page.php", "r"); while (!feof($handle)) {

    $buffer .= fgets($handle, 4096);

} fclose($handle); $result = stristr($buffer, 'NAME="c"'); print ("Result:<br />".$result); ?> Im not very good at regex, is there an function that would help me? (couldnt see one...) thx...

preg_match('/value\s*=\s*"([0-9]+)"/i', $buffer, $result); print ("Result:<br />".$result[1]);
