Hi All, I'd very much appreciate some help building a regular expression for preg_match_all that can differentiate between 'words' and 'phrases'. For example, say I have a string that contains: 'this is an "example of a phrase"' I'd like to be able to break that down to: this is an example of a phraseI haven't thought this through fully, but what if you exploded the string on " into an array. Then loop through the array and for every even element, explode on a space, otherwise just store the whole string into the new array. -philip
