Re: I suck at regular expressions!

try that! <? $mem=' <!doctype html public "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN"> <html> <head> <title> New Document </title> <meta name="Author" content=""> <meta name="Keywords" content=""> <meta name="Description" content=""> </head> <body> </body> </html> '; if (preg_match('/<title>(.+?)<\/title>/is', $mem, $matches)) { echo "title is:$matches[1]"; } ?> "Richard S. Crawford" <rscrawford@mossroot.com> wrote in message news:5.1.0.14.0.20011114232718.02936db8@pop3.norton.antivirus... I am trying to get the title of an html file... you know, the string between the < title > and < /title > tags... Here is the function I've got so far: function fileTitle($fileName) { $myFile = fopen($fileName, "r"); $myText=""; while (!feof($myFile)) { $myText .= fgets($myFile,255); } fclose($myFile); if (eregi("<TITLE>(.+)</TITLE>",$myText,$theTitle)) return $theTitle[0]; else return "(No Title)"; } The trouble is, it always returns "(No Title)", regardless of whether the file has a title defined in the header or not. I suspect I'm doing something fundamentally wrong. Can anyone set me straight? Sliante, Richard S.
