Based upon a further extended tanh method [Phys. Lett. A307 (2003) 269; Chaos, Solitons and Fractals 17 (2003) 669] and the symbolic computation system, Maple, we consider the (2+1)-dimensional dispersive long wave equations. We obtain many new solutions of the equation. These solutions contain soliton-like solutions, periodic form solutions, and some rational solutions.
