It's evident but not mentioned in the documentation that using asterisks is more restricted than in a normal regular expression. for exaple you cannot say: split(";*",$string); because what if there's no ";" separator?(which is covered by this regular expression) so you have to use at least split(";+",$quotatxt); in this situation. -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.split.php http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+23546 http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+23546 http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+23546
