Part of the problem might be that you're not seeing it displayed since it's just displaying BR's... maybe... on my machine using the above (minus the ()'s around the <BR> in ereg) assigns $matches[0] to "<br>" and that's it. That's all it should do according to the manual.. if you want each of those lines as an element in an array, you should look at split/explode... hope this helps -philip
