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. -- .------------------------------------------------------------. | InterJinn Application Framework - http://www.interjinn.com | :------------------------------------------------------------: | An application and templating framework for PHP.
