Hi Ed, did you try the backslash as escape character? <? $path = "testing/realtors/userdata/"; if(preg_match("/\/realtors/", $path)) { echo 'Success'; } ?>

That's what did it. I was thinking the \ was the escape for the command but wanted to make sure. Thanks! Why didn't you just test it yourself? Most people (well, I hope) would try it out, find out it worked, and used it. Instead you asked it on a mailinglist, waited, and then got your answer. It took you longer to do this, it cost you more (because time is money!(TM)).... why....???
