Get content between tags

Recommended Posts

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,

you must escape 1st ! and remove 2nd one

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