I need help in Regular Expression in PHP

Zeeshan

Hi Everyone,

How can I get all the values which are between Name tags as follows:

<emp>
<name>N1</name>
<age>1</age>

<name>N2</name>
<age>2</age>

<name>N3</name>
<age>3</age>

<name>N4</name>
<age>4</age>
</emp>

preg_match("/<name>(.+?)<\/name>/sim", $HTML, $matches);

Can you please provide examples

http://www.php.net/preg_match_all

Same syntax as preg_match(), except with an extra argument which is an
array that the results of all the matches get put in.

(And a couple of extra flag options.)

If you have a regex working OK with preg_match(), then it should work
fine with preg_match_all().
