Re: Everything between something becomes an array element

But .... watch this... <body> <table><tr><td><table><tr><td>foo</td><td>bar</td></tr></table></tr></table> <table><tr><td>foo bar</td></tr></table> </body> I think that the return result will be <tr><td><table><tr><td>foo</td><td>bar</td></tr></table></tr></table> <table><tr><td>foo bar</td></tr> Why? Beacuse you set PCRE to be greedy. I think that there is no easy way to solve the problem with nested <tr> tags.
