That'll do, Jim. :)
I also thought it worth mentioning that by telling a catch-all character
sequence (.*) not to be "greedy", another viable solution would be this:
preg_match('#<title>(.*?)</title>#iU', $data, $match);
The ? will stop it when it reaches </title> through back-tracking.
Probably less-efficient in more complex regex patterns, but I find it
can help make the patterns more readable at-a-glance in regex-heavy code
blocks.
Sorry.. a bit OT.. and the OP has already been answered. Meh.
