preg_match_all problem

[graziano]

Hello

on $list I have ..

$list = "<tr> <td>host</td><td></td><td colspan=2><img src=cct.jpg></td></tr>
<tr> <td>host2</td><td></td><td colspan=2><img src=cct.jpg></td></tr>
<tr> <td>host3</td><td></td><td colspan=2><img src=cct.jpg></td></tr>"

when I execute

preg_match_all('|<tr>.*</tr>|U', $list, $match);

echo $match;
echo $match[0];
echo $match[1];
echo $match[2];
echo $match[3];

all $match (and arrays) returns nothing ... why ? (I think it should return all the content of $list)

Is there something wrong on this part of code |<tr>.*</tr>|U' ?
I am trying to select all from <tr> to </tr>.

Thank you

.*?

But the U modifier was set already, or am I getting something wrong here?

graziano, are you sure the string looks like this and does not accidently contain additional linebreaks? Just asking because the definition of $list is missing the semicolon, so it is likely not the original or you would have to deal with parse errors first.
