Thanks, that was helpful for the thing that I am working on, too.

However, maybe you can answer this - if I have a string formatted into a
variable, say $strip_it, which is:

$strip_it = "http://www.someaddress.com/somepage";

....and I wanted to strip this out of a whole page of code where it appeared
multiple times, how would you set the values?


From your example (note I am using PHP 4.4, so no count parameter):


  $search  =  $strip_it;
  $replace = ""; // replace with nothing
  
  $result = preg_replace( $search, $replace, $initial_html, -1, );

I can't figure out how to set up $search - I keep getting different
errors...
