preg_match

[Anon]

hi!

i need to find the text between FIRST and LAST <block> and </block> tag.

i think preg_match is the right function:

this version doesn't work:

preg_match("|<block[^{>]+>(.*)</block[>]+>|U",} $block, $match);

Regexp damages my brain...

You was so close...

Try something similar with next code.
<?php
$stringTags =\"<BlocK >| text1<blocK> tex2 |</block></blocK >\";

preg_match(\"|<block[^{>]>(.)</block[>]*>|i\",} $stringTags, $match);
print_r($match);
// print_r works with PHP > = 4, I think
?>

Thanks Marcel!

Worked superfine, there's only one thing i couldn't get to work, i tried to add newline support for the script, but as i said before - regexp is killing my brain 🙁

preg_match("|<block[^{>]>+((.)\n\r)+</block[>]*>|i",} $block, $match);

i'd appreciate any help🙂

maybe `s' modifier is what you want...
something like:
<?php
$stringTags ="<BlocK >| text1<blocK> \n tex2 |</block></blocK >";

preg_match("|<block[^{>]>(.)<\/block[>]*>|is",} $stringTags, $match);
?>

Now should be more than `superfine' 🙂
