Unable to pass echo value

[micmac]

HI all,
If i have the following code:

$html = implode ('', file ('http://www.themotoringdirectory.com'));

if (preg_match ("/Advanced/i", "$html")) {

echo "$cool";
print "A match was found.";

} else {

echo "$cool";
print "A match was not found.";

}

...how do i get the value 'Advanced' to equal $cool?

Cheers,
micmac

Not quite sure what you're getting at. $cool has some value that you want to replace "Advanced" with in the $html string? Or you want $cool to equal whatever was matched?

In the first case, using preg_replace() instead of preg_match() will do it for you.

In the second, you'll want to use a third argument to preg_match() to store the match; call it $matches and the bit you want will be in $matches[0].
