Thanks for that I did not have the $1 in the preg_match statement.

I am sure somebody will tell me that I am in the wrong forum. Anyway, I wonder if somebody can help me. I have a RSS feed fed from a Myslq table. I want to display the same feed as a Html page. The feed has some embedded tags and hence has a CDATA tag. ( as shown) I have read the Mysql record and have tried to extract the CDATA start and end tags, but failed. Any ideas? The string is shown below. <![CDATA[<p>We would like to announce that our speaker for the October dinner will be Mr Jones. Mr Jones is an outward bound leader and a teacher.</p> <p>Would anybody not coming please inform Steve.</p>]]> How can I strip the CDATA tag and the end tag.
