this is a pain.. I have this code: $newcontents = " <MYXMLTAG> <stuff id=1> <something>22</something> </stuff> <stuff id=2> <something>22</something> </stuff> </MYXMLTAG> "; and then if I do this: $regstring = "<stuff id=1>(.*)</stuff>" $newcontents = ereg_replace($regstring,"INSERT-UPDATED-CODE-HERE",$newcontents); my result is : <MYXMLTAG> INSERT-UPDATED-CODE-HERE </MYXMLTAG> Not what I want.. I want : <MYXMLTAG> INSERT-UPDATED-CODE-HERE <stuff id=2> <something>22</something> </stuff> </MYXMLTAG> what am i doing wrong???
