Hey folks

I don't want to "just get you to do the work", but I have so far tried
in vain to achieve something...

I have a string similar to the following;

cn=emailadmin,ou=services,dc=domain,dc=net

I want to extract whatever falls between the 'cn=' and the following
comma - in this case 'emailadmin'.

Question(s);
is this possible via a regular expression?
does php have a better way of doing this?

Some pointers would be greatly appreciated. Once I have working, I will
be creating a function which will cater for this and will post to this
list if anyone is interested?

Cheers
Steve

I think you will have to use minimal matching to ensure you only grab the
first sequence. the following pattern should do the trick:



'/cn=(\w+,?)
