I simply don't think that regular expressions is the right tool here (and the complexity of the regular expression when all exceptions has been taken care of is unnecessary). Works fine under PHP4 and PHP5: <?php $string = '<a href="doc.php?id=13" target="_blank" title="go go go">blabla</a>'; $x = xml_parser_create(); xml_parse_into_struct($x,$string,$array); // href will be available in $array[0]['attributes']['HREF'] ?> If you are curious, you could add: <?php print "<pre>"; var_dump($array[0]['attributes']); print "</pre>"; print "<hr>"; print "<pre>"; var_dump($array); print "</pre>"; ?> But look at $array[0]['attributes']['HREF'] for the link. -- - Peter Brodersen -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
