RE: [PHP-DB] Grabbing string between two other strings. From: olinux o (olnx <email protected>)
Date: 06/30/01

the ends will not always be the same - they will be
pieces of html code tho - ie. <font face=verdana
size=2>...

I am having a bit of trouble because the ereg function
only finds the FIRST result even though the docs refer
to matchES [as in more than one]. So. i think that the
preg_match_all() looks most promising, however i have
not had any luck as yet.

thanks much,

olinux
