This may not be the best way but you could use explode to get it into an array and then use that as an varible. http://se.php.net/manual/en/function.explode.php $data =<a href="javascript:void(EXTERNALLINK('102'))"> $var = explode("'",$data); $var['2'] would then be the id number (I cann't recall the function really so I hope I didn't make any mistakes now =) /brother
