c4onastick Posted December 24, 2006 Share Posted December 24, 2006 [code]preg_match_all('/\bJames Gosling\b/', $string, $matches);[/code]This is very very general.

Tell us a bit more about the data you want to look through and we can offer a more specific (read: robust) solution. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
