[ACCEPTED]-Get text between HTML tags-preg-match
Don't parse HTML via preg_match, use this PHP class 1 instead:
The DOMDocument class
Example:
<?php
$html= "<p>hi</p>
<h1>H1 title</h1>
<h2>H2 title</h2>
<h3>H2 title</h3>";
// a new dom object
$dom = new domDocument('1.0', 'utf-8');
// load the html into the object
$dom->loadHTML($html);
//discard white space
$dom->preserveWhiteSpace = false;
$hTwo= $dom->getElementsByTagName('h2'); // here u use your desired tag
echo $hTwo->item(0)->nodeValue;
//will return "H2 title";
?>
Using regular expressions is generally a 12 good idea for your problem.
When you look 11 at http://php.net/preg_match you see that $matches will be an array, since 10 there may be more than one match. Try
print_r($matches);
to 9 get an idea of how the result looks, and 8 then pick the right index.
EDIT:
If there 7 is a match, then you can get the text extracted 6 between the parenthesis-group with
print($matches[1]);
If you 5 had more than one parenthesis-group they 4 would be numbered 2, 3 etc. You should also 3 consider the case when there is no match, in 2 which case the array will have the size 1 of 0.
You could do it this way::
$h1 = preg_replace('/<h1[^>]*?>([\\s\\S]*?)<\/h1>/',
'\\1', $h1);
This will Strip 1 off or unwrap the TEXT from the <H1></H1> HTML Tags
