[SOLVED] why won't this regex work?

[Case-Sensitive]

Hey guys

 

Wondering if you could give me a little hand here. Im trying to get the attributes from a tag. e.g .... id="some-value" name="some-value" ....

 

the regex im using with preg_match is:

$pattern = '/(\w*=\".*\"\s*)/';

 

this matches all the attributes but does not split them, so what would i have to get each inidvidual attribute

 

I tried using explode with " ". However if the attribute value has a space within the quotes, it doesn't work.

 

Any help would be great

Cheers

<pre>
<?php
   $tag = '<tag id="some-value" name="some-value">';
   preg_match_all('/(\w+)="(.+?)"/', $tag, $matches, PREG_SET_ORDER);
   print_r($matches);
?>
</pre>
