hm.. I did that by memory, i could of swore that those were beginning
and ending of word matching characters. I forgot to put my disclaimer
that it was only an example and not something to be used. I spent maybe
5 seconds thinking what he is looking for.
I used the 'm' when I should have used the 's'.

This has always been a confusing issue, cept now after reading php
documentation on the reg modifiers. Their description of 's' is
completely different (and easier to understand) than man perlre.
Thanks for clearing that up.

I don't think you have to escape the < and > characters, do you? Also,
what's the 'm' modifier for? (I know what it does, why are you using it
here?)
Also, if there's ever a case where could have
My Title
i.e. things spread over multiple lines, then you'll need:
preg_match('#(.*)#is',$text,$matches);
or, even better (ungreedy)
preg_match('#([^<]+)#i',$text,$matches);
The 's' modifier will allow you to match the title even though it's over
multiple lines with the first regex example. It's not needed in the second.

[PHP] Search question ..
Hi all.. I've got a search page written for my web site. I can find the html page I want by keyword. Now I need to get the title of that page in to a variable. In other words I have a file name, for example Summerbulletin.html. I now need to get the line " Summer 2003 " in to a variable. How do I tell html or PHP what I want? (I hope that I am understandable, I'm still new at this. ) Right now I output the search results in to a chart that shows "Summerbulletin.html". What I would like to show is "Summer 2003". TIA!

[PHP] search question
Hello, I'm wondering what you all think the best way to "search" for a string is. I guess its more of a matching (regex I'm thinking) but basically what I want is this.. I'm outputting some rows of data. If one of the columns of that row contain a string of text, either beginning, end, or middle, highlight it with a different row color. The part I need opinions on is matching the search. Would I just do an ereg/preg? Thanks, Bryan -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
