[SOLVED] preg_match

[Scooby08]

Would anybody happen to know why this:

 

<hr width=$hrwidth size=$hrheight />

 

works with this:

 

preg_match("/<hr width=(\d*) size=(\d*) \/>/", $input, $match);

 

but this:

 

<hr width=$hrwidth size=$hrheight color=$hrcolor />

 

does not work with this:

 

preg_match("/<hr width=(\d*) size=(\d*) color=(\d*) \/>/", $input, $match);

 

All I did was add the color attribute and for some reason it will not match up?? Am I missing something here, or did I not supply enough information for this to be answered?? I'm also having a hell of a time understanding preg_match..

Probably because the color attribute has a # sign in it, and you are looking for only digits.

here is the actual code I have as of now:

 

<hr width=100 size=1 color=black />

 

so that cannot be it..

Right. The regex is looking for digits (numbers) 'black' is not a number.

 

try color=(.*) or color=(a-zA-Z)

Ahh nice! Worked perfectly..
