note 17579 added to function.preg-match

Searching for the contents of a variable took a few minutes to figure out. $search = "joebob"; ereg($search,$contents); works IF it doesn't time out. preg_match($search,$contents); doesn't Put it in a format preg understands with some delimiters: $search_new = "'" . $search . "'"; preg_match($search_new,$contents); Then you can put your i s g after the second single quote (ie, ."'is";). -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.preg-match.php http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+17579 http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+17579 http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+17579
