[PHP] preg_match_all question
Hi All,
Having an issue with regular expressions, never been my strong point!
The following pattern only picks up one instance per line, if more than
one instance exists all text from first {{ to last }} is included, can
anyone point out where I am going wrong?
preg_match_all(/\{\{lang:(.*)\}\}/, $str, $tags);
Here is an example of what needs to be processed
ullispan{{lang:PA1Feature1}}/span/lilispan{{lang:PA1Feature2}}/span/li/ul
ullispan{{lang:PA2Feature1}}/span/lilispan{{lang:PA2Feature2}}/span/li/ul
TIA
Phil.

You need the ungreedy modifier:
preg_match_all(/\{\{lang:(.*)\}\}/U, $str, $tags);
Cheers,

Rob you're a star, thanks mate.
