PHP preg_match_all problem
What's wrong with this script...
I'm trying to extract URLs:
I get this error:
Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ',', expecting ']' in ... on line 10
It's the same when I don't escape the = sign either.

I didn't know of that notation " $matches[$run,0]"Ooops! That was my problem, from an old programming language I used to use.
And so?
Rik's script will only output the FIRST line of matches.
Was that your intention?

$matches[$run][0].
Try to modify your code as follows:
...
for($run=0; $run<$num; $run++)
echo $matches[$run][0].' > '.$matches[$run][1].' > '.$matches[$run][2].'<br>'
...
HTH Bye!
