preg_replace between

[sKunKbad]

I'm trying to replace the spaces, or what will be a current list of IP addresses that are between the 2 comments in this string

 

<?php

$deny_list = '
123.123.123.123
222.222.222.222
';

$string = '
## IP BANNING
<Limit GET POST>
order deny,allow
# BEGIN DENY LIST --

# END DENY LIST --
</Limit>
';

$pattern = '/(\# BEGIN DENY LIST --)(.*?)(\# END DENY LIST --)/';

$string = preg_replace( $pattern, $deny_list, $string );

echo '<pre>';
echo htmlentities( $string );
echo '</pre>';

 

Can't figure it out.

need the "s" modifier so that your "." will match newline chars.

This ended up working for me:

 

'/(?<=# BEGIN DENY LIST --)(.|\n)*(?=# END DENY LIST --)/'
