Hello experts, 
 
I have a string like.... 
 
&lt;this&gt;my name is &lt;name&gt;jonny&lt;/name&gt;&lt;br/&gt;i am &lt;age&gt;26&lt;/age&gt;&lt;/this&gt; 
 
I am trying to output an array like this... 
 
[0]=&lt;this&gt; 
[1]=my name is 
[2]=&lt;name&gt; 
[3]=jonny 
[4]=&lt;/name&gt; 
[5]=&lt;br/&gt; 
[6]=i am 
[7]=&lt;age&gt; 
[8]=26 
[9]=&lt;/age&gt; 
[10]=&lt;/this&gt; 
 
So each tag is in a new array element and the plain text is in its own array element 
 
i have been messing around with regular expressions to try to extract it correctly but am just getting angry... 
 
Does anyone have any ideas? 
Thanks
