note 78820 added to reference.pcre.pattern.syntax

For example, you want to cut an some <div> element. Accurate, from <div> to correspond </div> element. Here is proof-of-concept code to do this: <? $str = "<dqiv1>1+<div2>2+<div3><b><c>3</c></b></div3>2-</div2>1-</div1>"; preg_match("#<div.> ( ". " ( (?>[^<]*) ( < ( ([^/d]|d([^i]|i[^v])) | /([^d]|d([^i]|i[^v])) ) )? )* ". " | (?R) )* </div.>#xi", $str, $m); var_dump($m[0]); ?> it match accurate from <div2> to </div2>. And, if you change <dqiv1> to <div1>, it will match from <div1> to </div1> ---- Server IP: 195.54.192.44 Probable Submitter: 213.187.251.225 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/reference.pcre.pattern.syntax.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/78820 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/78820/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/78820/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/78820/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/78820/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/78820/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/78820/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/78820 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/78820 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
