    I have the above xml syntax I am getting from a RSS feed. I am trying to get the <category> enclosures into an array that I could use. I suck at preg_match_all and ereg stuff. I was wondering if I could get some help in extracting that information from this xml example.

    nico_swd.. no..

    I think I will try to use this..

    preg_match_all("'<category>(.*?)</category>'si", $rss_content, $tags);
    Code (markup):
    Have not tested it out yet, but will try right now.

    What does the si at the end mean? I never gotten around to learning Regular expressions. Just very very very easy basic regex stuff from examples I have seen. I do not understand it though.
