getting text between two comments

Re: getting text between two comments

Oops, forgot the s modifier. Should be like this:

if(preg_match('/<!-- START -->(.*)<!-- END -->/s', $html, $matches)) {
$code = $matches[1];
}

Re: getting text between two comments

To read the page, use file_get_conten ts(<filename>). To get the code use
preg_match(), like this:

if(preg_match('/<!-- START -->(.*)<!-- END -->/', $html, $matches)) {
$code = $matches[1];
}

You can find all your answers in the manual. http://www.php.net/manual

Opening, reading and closing a file -> file functions.
Finding something in a string -> string functions.

I have access to a page that stores data as HTML. The code has two comments
around the data that I want to get called <!-- START --> and <!-- END -->

Question is, how do i read the page and grab the code that is between these
two comments
