FAFAIK it should just be possible. See the following example: --- PHP Code Example --- <PRE> <?php $myDate = "2001-01-31"; $RE = "([0-9]{4})-([0-9]{1,2})-([0-9]{1,2})"; if (ereg ($RE, $myDate, $matches)) { print ("<H1>Matched!</H1>\n\n"); printf ("Year : %4d\nMonth: %02d\nDay : %02d\n", (integer)$matches[1], (integer)$matches[2], (integer)$matches[3]); } else { print ("<H1>Didn't match!</H1>"); } ?> </PRE> --- End of PHP Code Example --- </Reply> -- * R&zE: -- »»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»» -- Renze Munnik -- DataLink BV -- -- E: renze@datalink.nl -- W: +31 23 5326162 -- F: +31 23 5322144 -- M: +31 6 21811143 -- -- Stationsplein 82 -- 2011 LM HAARLEM -- Netherlands -- -- http://www.datalink.nl -- ««««««««««««««««««««««««
