Thanks Kevin - Actually, I'm confused about that too, because this does NOT work (delimeter):
$contents = eregi_replace("/(\")(.(/))*[A-Z0-9_/-]+(.gif|.jpg)/", "\"blah.gif", $contents); But this does (no delimeter): $contents = eregi_replace("(\")(.(/))*[A-Z0-9_/-]+(.gif|.jpg)", "\"blah.gif", $contents); So I use the line of code without the delimeters. Which was my first hint that something might be wacky. ;) But the preg_match_all code (below) doesn't work with or without the delimeters. I'm clearly new with regular expressions, but have been working on this all day and need some outside eyes. 8) Thanks again, Jen --- Kevin Stone <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Unknown modifier definitely has to do with the > regular expression.
