What exactly is the value of $testv? Do a View Source and see what you echoed out.

good tip.  in the source its not comming out right. i get

 

<span  id="sobi2Details_field_street">www.google.com</span>   

      <p><iframe src="http://www.facebook.com/plugins/like.php?href=     

<span  id="sobi2Details_field_street">www.google.com</span>      &layout=standard&show_faces=false&width=450&action=like&colorscheme=light&height=35" scrolling="no" frameborder="0" style="border:none; overflow:hidden; width:450px; height:35px;" allowTransparency="true"></iframe></p>

 

so in guessing the value is <span  id="sobi2Details_field_street">www.google.com</span>

 

i need to remove the <span  id="sobi2Details_field_street"> and </span>. the url is always going to be differnet lengths. any idea on the best way to fix the var?
