I have played with trhe code now - preg_replace - works. The reason I could not use the [img] as a trigger is that some users do not use the [img] tag to post a picture. Just in case others have a similar problem - this is how i sorted it out [code]preg_match_all("/http:\/\/?[^ ][^<]+/i",$post_text,$matches); // Count how many eliments in the $matches array $nor = count($matches);[/code] After I count the number of matches in the array - I tiedied it up and whalla! Thanks for your suggestions though Benton

Here is the problem. I have the following string [code]This is a test string for Benton's script here is [img:445865]http://www.asite.com/testing/one.jpg[/img:445865] furthermore to this test is the following too http://www.another.com/two.gif I need to strip this off to[/code] I need to turn the string above into this [code]http://www.asite.com/testing/one.jpg http://www.another.com/two.gif [/code] Basically stripping everything out except the two URL's! Any help would be greatly appreciated. Benton
