Preg question with regex not working

[pianoparadise]

I am trying to get $match[1] to have '<li>AAAAA' stored, but the code is not working. How can I fix this?

 

 

<?php
$data='
<ul>
<li>AAAAAA
<ul>
<li>BBBBB</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>';

$regex = '/\<ul\>(.*)\<ul\>/i';

preg_match($regex,$data,$match);

echo $match[1];
  var_dump($match);

?>

. will not match new lines without the /s modifier. You also need a lazy quantifier: /<ul>(.*?)<ul>/is
