Ok, I changed it to: <?php $data = file_get_contents("http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oQ2dKXGAjNg";); preg_match('/#<title>([^<]*)<\/title>#iU',$data,$match); $title=$match[1]; echo $title; ?> And this is the error i am getting: Warning: preg_match() [function.preg-match]: No ending delimiter '/' found in C:\wamp\www\ezee\tests\get_remote_title.php on line 3 >> Sorry forgot to include the list in my post to you Here is another solution if you don't want to play around too much with regex: <?php $data = file_get_contents("http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oQ2dKXGAjNg";); $strt = strpos($data,"<title>")+7; $end = strpos($data,"</title>"); $len = $end - $strt; $title= substr($data,$strt,$len); echo $title ?> Produces: "YouTube - REALLY funny ad" As mentioned, you can probably "neaten" this up a bit....regex may be too complex for the simple requirement needed ? But for fun, it will be nice to see get if preg_match can do it at some stage :-) Regards, -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
