.* in your patten will match everything It's greedy like perl (unless you
compiled php not to be)
add a ? and it will make it none greedy
^[<foo>]* will not work ^ needs to be in [] to mean not else it means
start of string

Hi...
I have a text and, some words of the text have the tags <url></url> between
them.
What i'm trying to do is to replace the word between that tags for a url,
wich I'll search them in a database and convert to a url.
It's working fine when I have only one <url></url>, but when there are more
than one, the script converts all the text between the first <foo></foo> and
the last <foo></foo>.
I'm using this code:
if (eregi("<foo>(.*)</foo>", $string, $result)) {
$string = str_replace($result[1], '<a
href="'.$result[1].'">'.$result[1].'</a>', $string);
}
Someone knows what I have to do to put it to work???
Thanks in advance.
