regex help and file question

Hi, I am just starting out with regex (and classes) so am not sure how to do this... I am seeing if a HTML file exists, if yes, I am using file_get_contents to get the entire HTML file into a string. In the HTML file I already have this: <!-- Start header --> <html> <body> whatever you want comes here <!-- End header --> How do I use a regex to span these multiple lines and simply cut everything (including the start..end part)from <!-- Start header --> to <!-- End header --> Second question: I am using file_get_contents, is it better to use this than file() or fread() ?
