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: 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
