Re: Regular Expression

You can do as Jim says here or go back and read the manual section again for eregi and ereg. What you're trying to do should be written more like this: <?php $str = '<body bgcolor="#ffffff">'; $numMatches = eregi('(<body)(.*)(>)',$str,$results); print("numMatches: $numMatches <br>\n"); print("body contents: $results[2] <br>\n"); print("all results: "); print_r($results); ?> -Steve On Thursday, January 3, 2002, at 12:15 PM, Jim Lucas [php] wrote:

I have seen this question reposted for the past week. now why don't you just work with the entire thing. get the "<body ... >" now once you have that, do this $str = preg_replace("<body", "", $str) $str = preg_replace(">", "", $str) now your $str var will only have the properties.

Hello everyone! I'm trying to get the text inside the <BODY> tag, using regular expression. $area = eregi('(<body)(.*)<">)',$str); Where $str is the string containing <body bgcolor="#999999" tex="#..." ...> When I print $area, the string contains the entire content of $str. I get something like: <body ...> <p> . . . </body> </html> __________John Monfort_________________ _+-----------------------------------+_
