In case the string is always "Language" you can use : $mainarea = substr($mainarea,2,8); If not, than you need Regexps

I think it is something to do with my quotation marks but need some help. How do I get rid of the ' and \ so that I am left with my variable?. -- PHP Database Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php -- PHP Database Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
