help with preg_match and getting info between tags spanning lines
Hello,
I am trying to get content between two tags.
I read in the contents of a html file into $contents.
I can do it ok for this eg:
<title>this is a test</title>
preg_match("/<title>(.*)<\
the above works as i want.
My problem is i am trying to get the contents of a style block from a html file that i have read in.
the block of style looks code below::
preg_match("/<style.+?>(.*
The above snippet does not work..
The below just gives me the first line
preg_match("/<style.+?>/i"
<style type="text/css">
<!--
.ft0{font-style:normal;fon
.ft1{font-style:italic;fon
.ft2{font-style:normal;fon
.ft3{font-style:normal;fon
.ft4{font-style:normal;fon
.ft5{font-style:italic;fon
.ft6{font-style:italic;fon
-->
</style>

Put in the multiline flag
preg_match("/<style.+?>/si
preg_match("/<style.+?>/si
