Thanks - will do! ______________________ George

NB - I am using PHP with Perl Compatible regular expressions. Sorry if this is the wrong forum for the question. Hi all, This isn't quite the same question as normal. I don't want to validate an email address, instead I want to parse a 'From:' header into its constituent parts. I have a...

Hi all, This isn't quite the same question as normal. I don't want to validate an email address, instead I want to parse a 'From:' header into its constituent parts. I have a complex web application which imports emails into a phpBB forum. Part of that process is to see if the email is from a...

Exactly what I wanted! I completely forgot about line-height. I had links with borders around them, and the top border was overlapping the text on the line above. Line-height solved it perfectly. Many thanks! ______________________ George

Thanks. I thought that might be the case. So no way of shifting it using margin? I guess I'll have to use relative positioning or something. ______________________ George

Here's some html: <b>My details</b><br /> <a class="normal" href="myurl">Edit Details</a> and here's the CSS: body { background : #ddd; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; color: #0066cc; margin: 50px 10%; } a { color : #000; text-decoration : none; }...

Will it do Bezier curves and polygons? ______________________ George

Thanks for the confidence - it's nice to know it might not be me being thick this time! I'll keep my eyes open for any news. Case closed for now. ______________________ George

Good advice, I'm sure. I'm actually running 4.3.8 already with a different Apache installation. My reason for all this palaver is firstly to check my scripts are compatible with PHP5, and secondly to branch off and extend some functionality using PHP5's new OOP features. I would like to run...

Sorry for the delay - I've been away with work. So I compiled cpdflib, and tried to work with it for a bit. The problems are many - I have loads of Bezier curve and polygon drawing routines, and I need to embed some fonts in the PDFs. Changinf to cPDFlib is going to be an absolute nightmare...

Well, I've got somewhere at least. I downloaded the PECL wrapper for pdflib, and installed it pointing to /sw/ as my directory for pdflib. It generated a file called pdf.so. With a bit of shifting things around, I discovered that if I put pdf.so in the path...

Thanks very much for that slepnir - I'm glad it wasn't just me going mad! I'd like to ask two further questions. Firstly, is there any way I can compile PHP5 with both GD and pdflib support? Any trick, or short cut, or whatever? Would it work to install the pdflib extension from PECL? I don't...

Hi, I would very much like some help with compiling PHP 5 on my machine. It's all gone well so far, with one small problem. I am running Mac OS X 10.3.4. I downloaded the first true release of PHP 5. Then I investigated the various libraries I need to include in the compilation. I found that I...

This seems to do what I want: $pattern = '/ \< ([[:alnum:]]+) \> ( (?>[^<>]+) | (?R) )* \< \/ \1 \> /Xx'; while(preg_match($pattern, $string, $captured)) { $string = preg_replace('/'.addcslashes($captured[0], '/').'/', '', $string, 1); $results[][$captured[1]] = preg_replace(array("/...

OK. Here's my pattern so far: $pattern = '/ \< ([[:alnum:]]+) \> ( (?>[^<>]+) | (?R) )* \< \/ \1 \> /Xx'; What I want to match is all the text between an opening and closing HTML-like tag. I want to allow for nested tags, so the regexp should match up until where the opening tag is...
