PHP Code:


			
$imgsrc = preg_replace('/^.*?(<img [^>]*?src="([^"]+)"[^>]*>).*$/is','\2',$item->description);

so can you input html into that?

You can do almost anything you want with regular expressions, except make cappucino.

Yeah? Regex is all about patterns. the idea that you are parsing html is irrelevant.

so i could do this $item->description); ? inside the preg_.

Sure, if that is what your trying to match. Im not to sure where your headed with this, because that statement doesn't really make sense to me.

But you could match " $item->description);" with regex if you wanted.
