[SOLVED] Using multiline

[Lumio]

Hi!

I have a string like

foo=bar xy*21
bar=foo ***//
here - it ends
to the	next row

Now, when I try to make it like this...

<?php
preg_match('{(.+?)\-(.+)}', $s, $match);
print_r($match);
?>

... it only puts out

Array
(
    [0] => here - it ends
    [1] => here 
    [2] =>  it ends
)

But I want to get something like

Array
(
    [0] => foo=bar xy*21
bar=foo ***//
here - it ends
to the	next row
    [1] => foo=bar xy*21
bar=foo ***//
here 
    [2] =>  it ends
to the	next row
)

preg_match('{([\w\d\s[:punct:]]+?)-([\w\d\s[:punct:]]+)}', $s, $match);

works, but I want to use every sign until the - and also every sign after -

[wildteen88]

use the s pattern modifier instead.

 

preg_match('{(.+?)\-(.+)}s', $s, $match);

 

pattern modifiers go after the ending delimiter for the pattern.
