Im having a problem writing a regex match to extract a text string from another...

$container = 'Manufacturer:Hambone<br>blah blah';

if (ereg("Manufacturer:\ (.+)<br>",$container,$matches) ) {
$manufacturer = $matches[1];
}

So, given this code. My $manufacturer var is getting "Hambone<br>blah blah"
instead of just 'Hambone'

I could use [:alnum:]+ instead of .+ but the problem is that the manufacturer may actually consist of multiple words with whitespace and punctuation.

I guesss Im just missing the trick, any ideas? Thanks.

There is a space after the colon, hence the '\ ' in the matching string...

$container = 'Manufacturer: Hambone<br>blah blah';
