preg_match_all problem

[soniclnd]

well... i'm writting a script and i get this error

Warning: preg_match_all(): Unknown modifier '<' in /home/soniclnd/public_html/newscript.php on line 61

it's complaining about this:

preg_match_all($regex, $conts, $group, PREG_SET_ORDER);

the regex is

$regex = "<p class=g><a href=([\D\S]*?)>([\D\S]*?)</a><table cellpadding=0 cellspacing=0 border=0><tr><td class=j><font size=-1>([\D\S]*?)</font><nobr>";

and the subject is a normal HTML page.... any idea what's going on and how i can fix it?

Regular expressions need to be delimited with a starting and ending delimiter.

$regexPattern = "[COLOR=red]/[/color][a-z]+[COLOR=red]/[/color]";

and, certain characters need to be escaped with a \, such as the / in your </a> tag. This would need to be <\/a> for instance.
