Well preg match will do the job. Try the following:

 Help with Code Tags 
 php Syntax (Toggle Plain Text) 
<?
preg_match_all('/\<object(.*)\<\/object\>/is',$page_contents,$tmp);
$matches=$tmp[0]; unset($tmp);
 
//display the first one on the page
echo $matches[0];
?>
<?
preg_match_all('/\<object(.*)\<\/object\>/is',$page_contents,$tmp);
$matches=$tmp[0]; unset($tmp);

//display the first one on the page
echo $matches[0];
?>

Try not to bump 10 year old threads as it can be really annoying.
