Re: REGEXP

hi,, u could try using explode function eg: arrayresult = explode(string, separator); cont = explode(thestring, "\""); echo cont[0] ; // result as Content-Type: multipart/mixed; boundary= echo cont[1]; //result as ------------B42DA66C4EC07C9B572A58FC echo cont[2]; // array index 2 will be nothing.. null or "" hope it works.. regards, James Adrian D'Costa wrote: > Hi, > > I am trying to capture the Header from a mail for my webmail using php and > pop3.
