[thelist] PHP regex for catching text between "<?php" and "?> "

[Jon Haworth]

Yeah, PHP can do that with the preg_match() function, what I need is the
actual regex itself!

Cheers
Jon

Memo from Martin P Burns of PricewaterhouseCoopers

-------------------- Start of message text --------------------

Dunno about PHP, but Perl would be able to return everything before
the found string in the line as $` and everything after it as $'

And of course $1 $2 $3 for 'The first thing found matching the regexp',
'the second thing found' etc

Cheers
Martin

Subject:  [thelist] PHP regex for catching text between "<?php" and "?>"


Hi list,

Here's my current mission: Using PHP, find all occurrences of a string that
don't fall between "<?php" and "?>".

Example: Given the string "hello <?php there ?> world <?php foo ?>",
generate an array with element 0 as "hello" and element 1 as "world".

I'm fairly sure that I need to use preg_match (www.php.net/preg-match) to
return my array, the bit I'm having problems with is forming the regex
properly. Not being much good in this department doesn't help :-)

Any kindly regex gurus feel like demonstrating their wizardry and giving me
a pointer?
