Re: fopen // eregi question

If you use preg_match (PERL style Regex) instead of ereg you can use the s match modifier which tells it to treat the entire file as a single line... so your Regex would be if (preg_match("|<title>(.*)</title>|is", $line, $out)) { (The i is case insensitive... since you were using eregi) Hope that helps Sheridan Saint-Michel Website Administrator FoxJet, an ITW Company www.foxjet.com ----- Original Message ----- From: "Brian V Bonini" <b-bonini@home.com> To: "PHP Lists" <php-general@lists.php.net> Sent: Wednesday, September 26, 2001 9:21 AM Subject: [PHP] fopen // eregi question > >From the PHP manual: > > http://www.php.net/manual/en/features.remote-files.php > > Example 20-1.
