Guys I am trying to use preg to pull a string in.
The string starts with src=" and ends with image.jpg

The middle is variable. I need to pull the entire string using the start and end of it from a page I am fopen-ing. This page is stored in a string. So I have the data here but it's a full html page. So I am going into $source, and I am trying to pull that specific string.

Anyone have some suggestions? It would be a snap if I knew what the middle of the string was, but it's *.

Thanks!

This is probably too greedy of a regex, but you can try:

preg_match("/src=\".*image.jpg\"/",$source,$matched);

/src\=\"(.*?)image\.jpg/isU

yes? no? maybe?

I dunno I suck at that shit and I didn't try that expression but it should be somewhere in the neighbourhood of what you're looking for at least.
