Regex to match EVERYTHING between 2 tags

[Brandon_R]

Hello guys im looking for a regular expression that would match everything between 2 tags and replace it with nothing.

 

Something like

 

<!-- open tag --> <a href="http://www.phpfreaks.com>PHP Freaks</a> <!-- / open tag -->

 

I need an expression that would match ANYTHING (even whitespaces etc) that is between the open tag (or any tag i specify).

Thank You,

preg_replace('/<\!-- open tag -->(.*?)<\!-- \/ open tag -->/', '', $String);

If you want to match everything, I'd add the 's' modifier to match new lines as well:

 

/<\!-- open tag -->(.*?)<\!-- \/ open tag -->/s
