Hi Richard. Subsrt_count() is what you are looking for: int substr_count (string haystrack, string needle) php.net/substr_count P.S: Helen Fielding's Bridget Jones Diary is a nice novel, hun?

Re: [PHP] one pattern, one string, multiple results
Thank you much! I was going to use preg_grep, preg_replace, preg_match, preg_match_all something like that, but this subsrt_count() will do the trick nicely! Thank you very much! Rick Hi Richard.
