[SOLVED] Replace text between {{PHP}} {{/PHP}}

[stuartmarsh]

I'm trying to replace text between {{PHP}} and {{/PHP}} but all that happens is my I get part of my  text back.

 

REGEX: /\{\{PHP\}\}(.*?)\{\{\/PHP\}\}/

SAMPLE:{{PHP}}TEXT{{/PHP}}

RESULT: {{PHP}}TEXT

EXPECTED RESULT: TEXT

 

Can somebody tell me where I'm going wrong?

Question mark is greedy. Why you use it at all here?

[stuartmarsh]

This regex is based on another that I found that did a similar thing.

Can you tell me what I can do to make it do what I want?

[Mchl]

 $str = "{{PHP}}TEXT{{/PHP}}";
preg_match("#\{\{PHP\}\}([^\{]*)\{\{/PHP\}\}#",$str,$match);
var_dump($match);

 

Ths will stop as soon as it encounters { though

[Mchl]

I think I got it

preg_match_all("#\{\{PHP\}\}(.*?)(?=\{\{/PHP\}\})#",$str,$match);
var_dump($match);

Many thanks Mchl that's great.
