well, either make sure $search contains the entire page or, you have an array fo lines, loop thru it line by line
foreach ($lines as $line) eregi( ... ) AFAIK, eregi will match *everything* and dump it all into $matches (at least that's the behaviour that pregs follow, i dont use eregs) --- Scott Hurring Systems Programmer EAC Corporation [EMAIL PROTECTED] Voice: 201-462-2149 Fax: 201-288-1515 > -----Original Message----- > From: Robert [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Sent: Friday, June 07, 2002 4:46 PM > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: [PHP] very simple eregi / loop question > > > How would you loop though a file ( or web page) and get all > of a certain > thing.
