getbetween()

[dreamwest]

I have a really long document, but only need a single word/s within two specific tags

 

words here.....

<link>only get this line</link>

lots of words here.....

 

How can i just get what is within the <link> tags??

[thewooleymammoth]

use explode

<?php
$content = "
stuff stuff stuff
<tag>
what you want
</tag>
";
$value=explode("<tag>", $content);
$value=explode("</tag>", $value);
$what_you_want=$value[0];
?>

 

or you could learn to reg ex, which is much more efficient, but i hate it...

Try this...

preg_match("/<link>(.*)</link>/", $str, $matches);

I suppose you may be looking for more than one occurrence of the tag? If so, you would want to use preg_match_all instead.

Try this...

preg_match("/<link>(.*)</link>/", $str, $matches);

 

(.*?)
