What is not stated in the manual (at least i didn't find it anywhere) is that you have to enclose the pattern in slashes, so for example this will not work: <?php preg_replace("<\/[^>]+>", "\\0\n", $htmlcode); ?> But this will do the job: <?php preg_replace("/<\/[^>]+>/", "\\0\n", $htmlcode); ?> A primitive example, just to make the point: <?php preg_replace("french fries", "freedom fries", $food); ?> will not do, you have to write: <?php preg_replace("/french fries/", "freedom fries", $food); ?> ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.preg-replace.php Edit -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+42281 Delete -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+42281&report=yes Reject -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+42281&report=yes Search -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
