Hi
If I have a simple file/string like

<strong>
<!-- artist -->Artist name<!-- //artist -->
<br>
"
<!-- album -->Albmun name<!-- //album -->
"
<br>
</strong>
<p>
<!-- text -->
Some text
Some text
Some text ...
<!-- //text -->
</p>

What is the best way I open it and pull out the text between
the comments?

Thanks in advance
best regards Thomas

<?php

$string = '<strong>
<!-- artist -->Artist name<!-- //artist -->
<br>
"
<!-- album -->Albmun name<!-- //album -->
"
<br>
</strong>
<p>
<!-- text -->
Some text
Some text
Some text ...
<!-- //text -->
</p>';

if (preg_match("/<\!-- artist -->(.+?)<\!-- \/\/artist -->/is", $string, $matches))
{
	print_r($matches);
}

?>

More than likely there is an easier way to do this.
