Hi, I wanna make a general pattern for example i have this string , i wanna capture the titles and links of this topic : <?php $str="<td valign='top'> <center> <a href='redirect-5321'> Zito, Romo combo zero <br><br> <img src='images/img280745.png' border='0' width='190' height='190'></a> </center> <br> </td></tr><tr> <td valign='top'> <center> <a href='redirect-5322'> NBA salary cap set at $57.7 million <br><br> <img src='images/img280746.png' border='0' width='190' height='190'></a> </center> <br> </td></tr><tr>"; // define start and end $title_start = ">"; $title_end = "<br><br>"; $link_start = "<a href='"; $link_end = "'"; $code = preg_match_all("/{$title_start}(.*?){$title_end}/", $str, $result1); $code = preg_match_all("/{$link_start}(.*?){$link_end}/", $str, $result2, PREG_PATTERN_ORDER); echo $result1[1][0]; echo "<br />"; echo $result2[1][0]; echo "<br />"; ?> in this example, title pattern doesn't work, because there are spaces and lines, what i wanna say, how can i make my pattern wider and flexible, even works with tags or words ? thanks. ---- Server IP: 87.124.35.190 Probable Submitter: 41.233.21.212 (proxied: 200.150.100.55) ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.preg-match-all.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/92083 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/92083/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/92083/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/92083/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/92083/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/92083/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/92083/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/92083 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/92083 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
