@alcodesauthorJun 21.2005 — I was trying to use strstr() and then ereg_replace() but it didnt do

what I mean is I have value=$string in an HTML tag, and I want to know $string

@NogDogJun 21.2005 — This will work as long as the value attribute's parameter is always quoted (value="some text" or value='some text'):
[code=php]
if(preg_match('/<input[^>]*value=['"]([^'"]*)['"]/', $string, $match))
{
echo $match[1];
}
[/code]
