preg_match problem

[furnissg]

Im new to regular expressions so any help would be greatly appreciated.

Basicly im trying to extract data from a web page, i am reading the web page into a string using Snoopy then i want to extract information contained in various tags.

So far i have got it somewhat working

$pattern = '/<h2 class="microText">.*<\/h2>/s';

$info = preg_match($pattern,$text,$matches);

this returns what i want, the only problem is that it misses the first </h2> tag and returns from the second.

any idea what could be happening?

Thanks

Try adding an Ungreedy modifier to the end of your pattern.
