Yes, but make sure you don't end up with a / inside your expression, as that would mean the end of the expression. You could also use another delimiter in your preg functions, i prefer using the % symbol, but you could of course use anything you want :) Tijnema -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
