[Daniel Kushner]

Hans,

You know that I believe that regex's save the world :)
Here's a little something from me:

function getLatestCartoon() {
	preg_match("~ALT=\"?Latest Strip\"?.*SRC=\"?([^\"]+)\"?~i",
file_get_contents('http://www.userfriendly.org/'), $arr);
	return $arr[1];
}

echo getLatestCartoon();

--Daniel
