calling match from preg_match

[Uchiha_Sasuke]

hi, i need to call the RegExp grouping from a preg_match, i've tried so many things, yet...none work...

here's a few examples of what i've tried

if (preg_match("/\[quote=(\d+)\]/",$SwitchElements)) {
$quoteget = mysql_fetch_array(mysql_query("SELECT * FROM `posts` WHERE `id`='".$matches[1]."'"));

if (preg_match("/\[quote=(\d+)\]/",$SwitchElements)) {
$quoteget = mysql_fetch_array(mysql_query("SELECT * FROM `posts` WHERE `id`='\\1'"));

if (preg_match("/\[quote=(\d+)\]/",$SwitchElements)) {
$quoteget = mysql_fetch_array(mysql_query("SELECT * FROM `posts` WHERE `id`='".$1."'"));

can you help?

Hi,

try this code:

Assuming that you want to match

if (preg_match("/\\[quote=(\\d+)\\]/",$SwitchElements,$matches)) { 
$quoteget = mysql_fetch_array(mysql_query("SELECT * FROM `posts` WHERE `id`='".$matches[1]."'"));
