Re: Regular Expression

I have seen this question reposted for the past week. now why don't you just work with the entire thing. get the "<body ... >" now once you have that, do this $str = preg_replace("<body", "", $str) $str = preg_replace(">", "", $str) now your $str var will only have the properties.
