I'm trying to read a MySpace FriendID out of a web page. If you view the source, you see this is multiple places: .....&friendID=12345&.... What's the simplest way to extract the FriendID and stick it in a variable? Is there a regex that would do this?

Is it always in that format? preg_match ( "/&friendID=(\d{5,})&/", $source, $id ); The result will be in $id[1]. -- John C. Nichel IV Programmer/System Admin (ÜberGeek) Dot Com Holdings of Buffalo 716.856.9675 jnichel@dotcomholdingsofbuffalo.com
