regex help with getting tag content in PHP

Question

so I have the code

function getTagContent($string, $tagname) {

    $pattern = \"/<$tagname.*?>(.*)<\\/$tagname>/\";
    preg_match($pattern, $string         


        

Answer 1

Probably because the title is spread on multiple lines. You need to add the option s so that the dot will also match any line returns.

$pattern = "/<$tagname.*?>(.*)<\/$tagname>/s";
