I'm not new for php, but have no experience working with ereg functions.

My

problem is the following: i have string.. for example

     $s="id {name,title,nick} [http://www.php.net]";

i want to break it in several parts: $p[0]="id"; $p[1][0] ="name"; $p[1][1] ="title"; $p[1][2] ="nick"; $p[2]="http://www.php.net"; The part in [] is not neccessary, count of {} elements is not less than 1 I can do it with string fucntions, but it seemes to me it's better to use regular functions. Could anybody help me to solve this problem and advise resource for

studying

regular expresions? Zliy Pes, http://zliypes.com.ua
