    Hi guys,

    I'm already very desperate with a regular expression trying to match a piece of text, please help:

    This is the text:

    <OPTION value="25">Anglicky</OPTION> <OPTION value="19">Auto, moto</OPTION> <OPTION value="39">Stavebníctvo</OPTION> <OPTION value="39">staveb</OPTION> <OPTION value="26">Školstvo</OPTION>


    And I need to select only <OPTION value="39">Stavebníctvo</OPTION> however not literally - its parts change as well. So far I got this:

    (?<=\<OPTION).*?(?i)staveb.*?(?=\</OPTION\>)

    The problem is that it matches also the text before my desired selection. Pleeease help me!!! thank you very much

    try this
    $s = '<OPTION value="25">Anglicky</OPTION> <OPTION value="19">Auto, moto</OPTION> <OPTION value="39">Stavebníctvo</OPTION> <OPTION value="39">staveb</OPTION> <OPTION value="26">Školstvo</OPTION>';
$pattern = '#(<option value="\d+">staveb[^<]+</option>)#si';
if (preg_match($pattern, $s, $m))
{
        print_r($m);
}
    Code (markup):
