To use preg functions you need to have compiled PHP with PCRE (Perl Compatible Regular Expression) support. http://www.php.net/manual/function.preg-replace.php3 This should do the trick (untested!): <? $contents = "<img src=ThisOneReallyNeedsToBeAllLowercase.gif alt=ThisOneReallyNeedsToBeAllLowercase.gif>"; $contents = preg_replace("/([-_a-zA-Z0-9]+)\.gif/e", "strtolower('\\1') . '.gif'", $contents); ?> Cheers Simon Garner
