tibberous Posted November 4, 2006 Share Posted November 4, 2006 Just a literal <. I can search for it, but if I search for anything after the <, such as <html, it breaks the search.I read that it was only special in PHP, which I think is why I can't find it anywhere.Thanks Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/26150-how-do-i-search-for/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

tibberous Posted November 5, 2006 Author Share Posted November 5, 2006 Sure. Lets say I want to search an html file for all instances of <h.preg_match_all("/<h/", "<html><head><title>", $matches);This doesn't work, I think because php treats < as a special character, even though it normally isn't. I have tried \<, <<, \\<, '<, [<] and anything else I could think of, but no matter what it doesn't return any results.

Nicklas Posted November 5, 2006 Share Posted November 5, 2006 It works, you have to view the source to see the contents in $matches[code=php:0]preg_match_all("/<h/", "<html><head><title>", $matches);print_r($matches);[/code] Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/26150-how-do-i-search-for/#findComment-120081 Share on other sites More sharing options...
