Ok lets think here. Split involves splitting a string around a certain item or section. But how do you extract all of the occurances of a certain type of item from a string? If I have a user inputted string with a lot of html and occasionally some numbers ($ values and regular numbers). Is there an easy way to do this? Age: 17

Ok I think preg_match_all is the thing to use. However I can't figure out how to make it work.

Here's my script:

<?
$spy = &quot;testing 123 testing&quot;;
preg_match_all (&quot;/\d+/&quot;,&quot;$spy&quot;, $spy_pieces);

foreach ($spy_pieces as $piece) {
echo &quot;$piece&quot;;
}

?>

Heres the output:
