Preg_Match not working

[skwap]

Hello Dear,

 

i want to get the text value (bla bla bla) from the below string.

 

$string = "<div class="on"> <p>bla bla bla</p></div>";

 

my code is

 

$desc_pattern = '/\<div class=\"on\"><p>(.*)<\/p><\/div>/s';
preg_match($desc_pattern,$string,$new_desc);
print_r($new_desc);

 

 

but its only showing

 

Array ( )

 

please help me

because your string has a space between your opening div/p, but your regular expression doesn't allow for that.

Then what can i do ??

 

can you please help me

You could choose one of these patterns:

$desc_pattern = '/\<div class=\"on\">.*<p>(.*)<\/p><\/div>/s';

 

$desc_pattern = '/\<div class=\"on\"> <p>(.*)<\/p><\/div>/s';

not working...

 

actually the source code is

 

<div class="on">

 

                  <p>There is a dream car for you.

<br>

<br>Try the free version of Asphalt 5 and race with the fastest dream cars ever created by some of the most prestigious manufacturers in the world.

<br>Everything you’ve ever dreamed of doing behind the wheel is here!

<br>Stop dreaming and get in!</p>

 

                  </div>

 

conside the above is as string & make a pattern

May be you should use the miltiline modifier  http://php.net/manual/en/reference.pcre.pattern.modifiers.php.

 

So your regex becomes 

$desc_pattern = '/\<div class=\"on\">.*<p>(.*)<\/p><\/div>/sm';

I would do these modifiers:

 

$desc_pattern = '/\<div class=\"on\">.*<p>(.*)<\/p><\/div>/isU';
