Tricky Regex...

[Anon]

Hey all,

I have a page full off stuff like

[TITLE]
A Title Here
[/TITLE]

etc., and I'm trying to split them into $PAGE["TITLE"], where TITLE is replace with whatever's in the tag above.

I have the following:

if (preg_match("|\[$item\]\n(.*)\n\[\/$item\]|i", $contents, $results)) {
    $PAGE[$item] = $results[0];
} else {
    echo "\n\n<BR><BR>ERROR: $item missing from page<BR><BR>\n\n";
}

(hope that hasn't been screwed up cos of the page width!), but it always returns the error!

$contents contains the whoe file full of [TITLE], [AUTHOR] etc. and I'm baffled!

Hope someone can help,

Danny

Try:

preg_match("/\[TITLE\](.*)?\[\/TITLE\]/i", $text, $matches);

The title should be in $matches[1];

It will only catch the first instance, just so you know. You can replace the text TITLE with whatever you like, and you might want to run trim() on the match, to get rid of extra space and line breaks.

Hope that helps!

Hi!

I managed to fix it. It was the \r that I was missing, so I just added a str_replace right above it to remove \r's and it works fine.
