preg_match_all - over more than one line

[callico]

I've been using something similar to this code to edit pieces of a page. I've simplified the pattern match here for clarity, obviously there's more than one div on my page! 😉

$contents = page contents

preg_match_all("/(.)(<div align=center>)(.)(<\/div>)(.*)/", $contents, $result_array, PREG_SET_ORDER);
$stuff_I_want = $result_array[0][3];

It works fine if everything's on one line, like so,...
<div align=center>stuff I want</div>

It doesn't work if the search covers multiple lines, like this,...
<div align=center>
stuff I want
</div>

Can preg_match_all() work over multiple lines?
Is so, how can I adjust my matching pattern?

Thanks, DC

Read up on PCRE pattern modifiers.

Thanks allot, it worked!

For anyone following this thread, all I needed to do was add smU to the end of my pattern, e.g.

preg_match_all("/(.)(<div align=center> )(.)(<\/div> )(.*)/smU ", $contents, $result_array, PREG_SET_ORDER);

Thanks again laserlight!
