How about just using an xml-based function? Much cleaner, doesn't
require name-attribute to be present before value-attribute.
<?php
$string = '<input type="hidden" name="id" value="593" />';
$x = xml_parser_create();
xml_parse_into_struct($x,$string,$array);
print $array[0]['attributes']['VALUE'];
// or, out of curiousity:
var_dump($array);
?>
(and why preg_replace? $1 wouldn't even be set since no capturing
parenthesises are used)
