Note Submitter: harrrrpo at gmail dot com ---- The last example -nested BBCode- has a problem and won't work it should be <?php $regex = '#\[indent]((?:[^\[]|\[(?!/?indent])|(?R))+)\[/indent]#'; ?> ([ should be escaped to be \[) -- a nicer regex i used in a BBCode parser (BBEngine http://www.phpclasses.org/browse/package/4829.html) This one Captures Tag Arguments ,Empty tags and also uses ?> for performance , wrapped in a simple function for templating (ofcourse it's one line but note's line size is limited :) ) <?php /** * A Template for the recursive tags matcher RE * it generates it for a given tag ,open bracket and closing one * $O & $C must be pre-escaped from #'s * @param String $tag Tag to be parsed recursively * @param String $O Opeening brackets of tag * @param String $C Closing brackets of tag */ public function Recursive_RE_Generator($tag,$O,$C) { $re="#{$O}({$tag}.*?){$C}((?>{$O}(?!/?{$tag}[^{$O}]*?{$C})| [^{$O}]|(?R))*){$O}/{$tag}{$C}#is"; return $re; } ?>
