My bad, forgot to use file_get_contents() so as to not have an array,
and also forgot that ereg() doesn't support the ? for changing
greediness of the matching. The following works as expected (tested :)

$html = file_get_contents(
'http://www.gamespot.com/pc/rpg/guildwars/screens.html?page=264' );
$matches = array();
if( preg_match( '/END SCREENSHOT NAVIGATION.*?img src="([^"]+)"/',
$html, $matches ) )
{
    $image = $matches[1];
}

echo 'Foo: '.$image."\n";

Cheers,
Rob.
