<? $string = 'one<br>two<br>three<br>four<br>five'; $nthPos = 4; $tmpArr = explode( '<br>', $string ); $nthString = $tmpArr[($nthPos - 1)]; ?>Thanks Chris, that works great, but it's not doing what I want. I'm just trying to get the position of the 3rd occurrence (for example) of '<br>'. So I'm looking for a function that will return the value 19, given the above example string. - Brian
