Hi Ed,

did you try the backslash as escape character?

<?
$path = "testing/realtors/userdata/";
if(preg_match("/\/realtors/", $path)) {
echo 'Success';
}
?>

Works for me :o)

Maybe try http://de3.php.net/manual/en/function.preg-match.php too see some examples.

Good luck

Chris

Subject: [PHP] using preg_match


I'm trying to use preg_match to find a string in a system path.

What I need to do is see if the string '/realtors' exists in a variable named '$path'.

I know '/' is used as a container within the command itself. How do I escape it to find the string '/realtors'?

Thanks,

Ed
