[SOLVED] preg_match logical error

[plznty]

<?php
$s = file_get_contents("page.html");
preg_match('/<div class="brown_box main_ge_page vertically_spaced"><div class="subsectionHeader">(.*)<\/div>/', $s, $m);
echo $m[1];
?>

 

page.html content

<div class="brown_box main_ge_page vertically_spaced">
<div class="subsectionHeader">
Works
</div>

 

How come it doesnt get the word, "Works".

Thank you

Because there's a line break between the two divs. Try to add \s* between them, and you should also make your quantifier lazy by adding a question mark after .* (stopping the match at the first encountered </div> character sequence, not the last).
