brendan, please clarify: you're "trying to strip out all links in the page
that is between
the <a href and </a>"
you're trying to strip out all links and return them?
if so, split won't work.....it splits on whatever the pattern is.....
if you're trying to get all the links, you could do [this doesn't get <a
name which is what you want i think]
preg_match_all("|(<a href.*?</a>)|",$html,$matches);
look at the preg_match_all page at php.net for info on how to use it
ITE($url);
$the_array=spliti("<A (.*)</A>", $html,-1); //spliti to avoid any case
sensitivity.
foreach($the_array AS $k) echo $k."<HR>";
I had given preg_split a go but just got flummoxed with the need to
slash everything ..
Martin .. I'd tried that .. but i get an array count of 0 from
$the_array ..(from $the_array=split("<A ([^>]*)</A>", $html,-1);
echo count($the_array);
