davecox Posted June 2, 2008 Share Posted June 2, 2008 Hi, I'm creating a simple CMS system - I have some test data, which I am reading from the database: <div id='leftCol' class='editable'>My Content</div> I have written some regex to match this, and extract the ID and the Contents, so I can then create an instance of the FCKEditor with the correct values. Here is my regex: /<div[A-Za-z0-9'= ]*id='([\S]+)'[A-Za-z0-9=' ]*class='editable'>([\s\S]*)<\/div>/ I have tested this with various online regex checkers - which give me the exact results I am expecting. The expected data returned is: Array ( [0] => <div id='leftCol' class='editable'>My Content</div> [1] => leftCol [2] => My Content ) Great, right? Nope. When I put this all in to PHP it doesn't find any matches. I have tried preg_match and preg_replace. My PHP code is below: $rxControls="/<div[A-Za-z0-9'= ]*id='([\S]+)'[A-Za-z0-9=' ]*class='editable'>([\s\S]*)<\/div>/"; $bodyText=$row['ContentPartContent']; // <div id='leftCol' class='editable'>My Content</div> echo(preg_match($rxControls,$bodyText,$aMatches)); // echos '0' echo($aMatches[0]); // is blank Thanks for any help you can offer, its confusing me!

davecox Posted June 2, 2008 Author Share Posted June 2, 2008 Solved, as I am a retard. I hadn't told to regex to allow the Class and ID attributed in any order. Now I have, and it works. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hansford Posted June 2, 2008 Share Posted June 2, 2008 your pattern is fine. The problem might lie in $row['ContentPartContent']; check out the results of my test. -------------- $search = "<html><body><div id='leftCol' class='editable'>My Content</div></body></html>"; $pattern = "/<div[A-Za-z0-9'= ]*id='([\S]+)'[A-Za-z0-9=' ]*class='editable'>([\s\S]*)<\/div>/"; $replace = "yadiyadi"; $str = preg_replace($pattern,$replace, $search); preg_match($pattern,$search,$matches); echo $str; //results = yadiyadi echo $matches[0]; //results = My Content Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
