regular expression not working for new line

[chemoul78]

Hi,

$tpl = preg_replace("/%content%.*%contentend%/", "wuha", $tpl);

works fine for %content% this is the content %contentend%
but not for
%content%
this is the content
%contentend%

I take it the .* doesn't include new line and carriage return. How do I fix this so that the above expression will work for really everything between %content% and %contentend%?

Thanks.

Steve

Take a look at pattern modifiers, you need to use m.
