Get content between tags

[codingmasterRS]

Hi guys I need to be able to extract (into an array) the content between two tags "<!--" and "-->" in a string ($string).

 

I have

$string = "<!--HELLO WORLD-->";

$tags = "/<!--(.*?)--!>/";

preg_match($tags, $string, $matches);

return $matches[1];

 

but it does not seem to work, (no error code, nothing).

 

Any help much appreciated,

And this one

			$pos = stripos($template, '<!--');
		$str = substr($template, $pos);
		$str2 = substr($str, strlen('<!--'));
		$pos2 = stripos($str2, '-->');
		$str3 = substr($str2, 0, $pos2);
		$unit = trim($str3);
		return $unit;

 

Does not get an array of them, only gets the first one.

To clarify:

Are you wanting to get the contents, separated by a space, into an array from withing the "<!--"  and "-->" strings?

Perhaps...

<?PHP
$string = "<!--HELLO WORLD-->";
$tag1 = "<!--";
$tag2 = "-->";
$string = str_replace($tag1,"",$string);
$string = str_replace($tag2,"",$string);
$string_array = explode(" ", $string);
print_r($string_array);
?>

you must escape 1st ! and remove 2nd one

<?php
$string = "<!--HELLO WORLD-->";
$tags = "/<\!--(.*?)-->/";
         preg_match($tags, $string, $matches);
         print_r($matches[1]);
?>
