$foo = '[quote]This is a quote[/quote]'; if (preg_match('/\[quote\].*?\[\/quote\]/', $foo)) { echo 'match found'; } else { echo 'match not found'; } ----------------------- For the given value of $foo, this regex works as advertised. If $foo is a multiline string as in -> $foo = '[quote] This is a quote [/quote]'; the regex doesn't match. What can be done to the regex, where it will match both single and multiline strings?
