A Challenge

Anon

I want to search through a webpage for the paragraph tag and slurp it into an array.
Below is the code I am using. It only finds the first paragraph tag. If anyone has an idea of what I am doing wrong, your help would be greatly appreaciated.

$text = "<![if !supportLists]>·       
<![endif]>Select and use proper terminology in describing a
network.

<![if !supportLists]>·       
<![endif]>Describe the different roles
of the computer in a network.

<![if !supportLists]>·       
<![endif]>Evaluate professional certifications to acquire new
skills.";

if (eregi("<p([^>]|\n)*>", $text, $array)){
foreach ($array as $val)
echo"$val\n";
}

You did nothing wrong. Read the manual and you'll see the behaviour is normal.
Use preg_match_all() instead.

Olivier beat me to it. You only have one subexpression in your eregi, so only one result. Mind you, it took me ages to work that out. This snippet does what you want, although the echos are only to show it working - note that the first array contains the full matches, and the second array only the sub-matches.

$text = " <img etc>More stuff\nOther stuff";

$t = preg_match_all("|<p(.*)>|Uis",$text,$array);

foreach ($array[0] as $tag) echo htmlentities($tag)." ";

foreach ($array[1] as $tag) echo htmlentities($tag)." ";
