Here's a quick regex for stripping the quotes from the beginning and end of a string, handy in case you're writing something that needs to parse HTML-style attributes: $attribute = "'foo'"; /* Note the single quotes */ $expression = "/(^[\"|']|[\"|']$)/"; $newattribute = preg_replace($expression, '', $attribute); /* $newattribute now contains the string foo, without the single quotes. This won't interfere with any single or double quotes that happen to be in the middle of the string. */ -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.preg-replace.php http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+29639 http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+29639 http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+29639
