Hi guys,

I really need some help creating or rather improving some reg exp stuff for my dissertation. I have just noticed I have not done this and don't have the time to do a lot of work on it. Any help would be massively appreciated.

I need to recognise upper and lower case variants of the same string.

Currently in php I have

Code:

$strKeywords = "color|COLOR|[^/]font|[^/]FONT|face|FACE|size|SIZE";

and then

Code:

if (ereg($strKeywords, $strLine)) {...

And need to know if there is any better way to implement that.

Also, in the same vein, can anyone give me a quick and dirty reg exp for a html hex colour?

Help much appreciated here,

Cheers.

Could you not just use eregi as it's not case sensitive?
