[SOLVED] Get content between tags

[Epic]

Hey there,

I've tried searching around the forum but I couldn't find a post addressing exactly what I'm trying to do.  Sorry if something similar has already been posted.

 

What I'm trying to do is get the content between two tags.  For instance, if I had [PRICE]29.99[/PRICE], I'd want to just echo 29.99.

 

The tags aren't always that simple though, sometimes it'll be some complex HTML code.

 

I've done this using explode(), but even I have a feeling that is not the greatest way to do it.

 

Thanks in advance for your help.

0 is the entire match and 1 is the captured content:

 

<pre>
<?php
$string = '[PRICE]29.99[/PRICE]';
preg_match('#\[PRICE\](.*?)\[/PRICE\]#s', $string, $matches);
print_r($matches);
?>
</pre>

Thank you very much!   It works great
