"\n"; echo "part 1: " . $val[1] . "\n"; echo "part 2: " . $val[3] . "\n"; echo "part 3: " . $val[4] . "\n\n"; } ?> The ouput is: matched: <h1>Heading Largest First</h1><h2>Heading Larger First</h2><a href=howdy.html>click me</a><h1>Heading Largest Second</h1> part 1: <h1> part 2: Heading Largest First</h1><h2>Heading Larger First</h2><a href=howdy.html>click me</a><h1>Heading Largest Second part 3: </h1> matched: <h3>Heading Normal</h3> part 1: <h3> part 2: Heading Normal part 3: </h3> The reqular expression is missing a question mark, the corrected snippet should be: $html = '<h1>Heading Largest First</h1><h2>Heading Larger First</h2><a href=howdy.html>click me</a><h1>Heading Largest Second</h1>Some text<h3>Heading Normal</h3>'; preg_match_all("/(<([\w]+)[^>]*>)(.*?)(<\/\\2>)/", $html, $matches, PREG_SET_ORDER); foreach ($matches as $val) { echo "matched: " . $val[0] . "\n"; echo "part 1: " . $val[1] . "\n"; echo "part 2: " . $val[3] . "\n"; echo "part 3: " . $val[4] . "\n\n"; } ?> Then the output will be: matched: <h1>Heading Largest First</h1> part 1: <h1> part 2: Heading Largest First part 3: </h1> matched: <h2>Heading Larger First</h2> part 1: <h2> part 2: Heading Larger First part 3: </h2> matched: <a href=howdy.html>click me</a> part 1: <a href=howdy.html> part 2: click me part 3: </a> matched: <h1>Heading Largest Second</h1> part 1: <h1> part 2: Heading Largest Second part 3: </h1> matched: <h3>Heading Normal</h3> part 1: <h3> part 2: Heading Normal part 3: </h3> -- Edit bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=48806&edit=1 -- Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 5.2): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=48806&r=trysnapshot52 Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 5.3): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=48806&r=trysnapshot53 Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 6.0): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=48806&r=trysnapshot60 Fixed in CVS: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=48806&r=fixedcvs Fixed in CVS and need be documented: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=48806&r=needdocs Fixed in release: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=48806&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=48806&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=48806&r=needscript Try newer version: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=48806&r=oldversion Not developer issue: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=48806&r=support Expected behavior: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=48806&r=notwrong Not enough info: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=48806&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=48806&r=submittedtwice register_globals: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=48806&r=globals PHP 4 support discontinued: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=48806&r=php4 Daylight Savings: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=48806&r=dst IIS Stability: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=48806&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=48806&r=gnused Floating point limitations: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=48806&r=float No Zend Extensions: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=48806&r=nozend MySQL Configuration Error: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=48806&r=mysqlcfg
