Help with regular expression please

Please help I am working for more than 3 hours now this problem but I can't think or find way to correct it...

my regular expression is like this
%<h[^>]+>(.*)</h.>%i

It works perfectly if the string look like this

<H1><A NAME="SECTION000300000000000000000">2 Simple Patterns</A></H1>

Code (markup):

Result : <A NAME="SECTION000300000000000000000">2 Simple Patterns</A></H1>
But if string will look like this

<H1><A NAME="SECTION000300000000000000000">2 Simple Patterns
</A>
</H1>

Code (markup):

Result : None

I guess the problem is the line break or not sure..

Thanks in advance

 

try giving m modifiers

%<h[^>]+>(.*)</h.>%im

m - Treat string as multiple lines
i - Case-insensitive match

 

Hi Kusal,

Thanks mate, but still don't work...

 

Hi,

It seems preg_match treat such string as an array and array elements don't match the regexp. Proof:

$s='<H1><A NAME="SECTION000300000000000000000">2 Simple Patterns
</A>
</H1>';
$arr=array();
preg_match_all('#.*#',$s,&$arr);
print_r($arr);

PHP:

So you can replace "\r\n" for the input with "".
