Shawn, this regex gets me two copies of each string - one with and one without 
the double quotes - as did the one Nathan posted earlier.

Yeah, I realised that quite early on in my messing about.

What I have ended up with is:

$regex = '/".*?"/';
$found = preg_match_all($regex, $sentence, $phrases);

This still leaves the quotes in the phrases, but at least I only get one copy 
of each phrase. I'm just trimming the quotes afterwards.

Thanks for all the advice.

Mark
