eregi help needed

How can I change this code below to only match everything between <starttag> and the first occurrence of </endtag> i.e in case there happened to be more than one </endtag> ?

eregi('<starttag>(.*)</endtag>',$fcg,$got);

Code (markup):

Thanks in advance!

 

anybody have an idea?

 

preg_match('~<starttag>(.*?)</endtag>~',$fcg,$got);

PHP:

Try to avoid ereg_* functions, as they're about 6 times slower than preg_* functions.

 

As always......Thanks nico.....I wish you lived next door
