Hi guys,

been having some problems working out how to find the 10:23 and 10:50 in a  
string like [COLOR=“SlateGray”]“lasdasdasdsads 10:23 asdasdasdasd 10:50”[/COLOR]

and extract them. I have been trying to use preg\_match\_all but i cant seem to get it to work, can anyone help ?

ps. My ereg statment that works is

```php
ereg ("([0-9]{2}):([0-59]{2})", $content, $regs)

```

Cheers if you can !
