If not what would be simple and logical way to get URLs off a page?

Start here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Regular_expression Perhaps try these tutorials: http://www.regular-expressions.info/ Then go hardcore: http://www.regexlib.com/ (only when you know your regexps) That should get you started, but don't ask me how to run a regular expression in PHP... I don't know! [EDITED] Here you go: http://www.regular-expressions.info/php.html http://weblogtoolscollection.com/regex/regex.php LOL __________________ Diego - Web-Developer & London SEO Expert jQuery Plugins: Multiple File Upload, Star Rating, FCKEditor \| NEW: XML to JSON Last edited by spinal007; July 8th, 2006 at 01:33 PM..
