Re: Evaluating strings...

Hey, Thanks for the quick response on Retrieving parameters... This is another that has me stumped...

      if (trim($Line) = '<body>') {

        $InBody = true;

      } elseif (trim($Line) = '</body>') {

        $InBody = false;

      }

$Line is a line from a html file, I'm trying to parse through it to ignore everything but the <body> section. When I run the above I get the following... Fatal error: Can't use function return value in write context in C:\wwwRoot\anthony.maske\cfr.php on line 43 If I do this... $Tag = trim($Line);

      if ($Tag = '<body>') {
  

This assigns '<body>' to $Tag - see below.

        $InBody = true;

      } elseif ($Tag = '</body>') {

        $InBody = false;

      }

Why won't the later work? What am I missing in the first snip... Thanks again...! Anthony Another page for you to read:
