Something like this: eregi ("(<br>)", $Note, $matches); Then the values in $matches should be: $matches[0] = "<br>This is line 1.<br>This is line 2.<br>This is line 3.<br>" $matches[1] = "<br>" // namely the first "<br>" in the string. I don't know, however, if any of the other "<br>" substrings will be matched and put into $matches... i.e.: $matches[2] = "<br>" // the second "<br>" $matches[3] = "<br>" // the last "<br>" Stephen.
