note 117766 added to function.get-meta-tags

This regex gets meta tags independent of sequence by capturing inside a lookahead. Further uses the branch reset feature for different quote styles of values. The pattern can be tested here: https://regex101.com/r/oE4oU9/1 <?PHP function getMetaTags($str) { $pattern = ' ~<\s*meta\s # using lookahead to capture type to $1 (?=[^>]*? \b(?:name|property|http-equiv)\s*=\s* (?|"\s*([^"]*?)\s*"|\'\s*([^\']*?)\s*\'| ([^"\'>]*?)(?=\s*/?\s*>|\s\w+\s*=)) ) # capture content to $2 [^>]*?\bcontent\s*=\s* (?|"\s*([^"]*?)\s*"|\'\s*([^\']*?)\s*\'| ([^"\'>]*?)(?=\s*/?\s*>|\s\w+\s*=)) [^>]*> ~ix'; if(preg_match_all($pattern, $str, $out)) return array_combine($out[1], $out[2]); return array(); } // usage $meta_tags = getMetaTags($str); ?> ---- Server IP: 72.52.91.14 Probable Submitter: 183.88.79.108 ---- Manual Page -- http://php.net/manual/en/function.get-meta-tags.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/117766 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/117766/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/117766/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/117766/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/117766/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/117766/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/117766/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/117766 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/117766 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
