$contents = preg_replace( "|<item>.*?".$file.".*?</item>|si", "", $contents );
okay, so i figured out that it's matching the first occurence of <item> which will always be the first record and then going on to match the $file and deleting everything between. obviously not what i want. without giving <item> a unique attribute and without preg_match_all and looping through them all, is there any other way to do this? make it find the first occurence of <item> previous to $file, rather than from the start? i hope this makes sense, and is a little clearer than i've been so far... -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
