preg_replace HTML formatting

[kodie]

Hey guys, I've got a little problem that I can't seem to find the answer to...

 

I have a string like this:

$oldstring = "<test1>here is some text</test1>";

 

and what I want to do is get "test1" and "here is some text" into 2 separate strings kind of like this:

 

$newstring[0] = "test1";
$newstring[1] = "here is some text";

 

I figured I'd use preg_replace to do this but no luck. I know the answer has to be something simple but I just can't figure it out.

 

Thanks for any help you can give!

preg_match('/<([a-z,\d]*)>([a-z,\s,\d]*)</[a-z,\d]*>/i',$string,$matches);

 

try that.

preg_match('/<([a-z,\d]*)>([a-z,\s,\d]*)</[a-z,\d]*>/i',$string,$matches);

 

try that.

 

Thanks for the reply,

 

That doesn't return anything, even tried print_r($matches); and it's empty.

preg_match('/<([a-z,\d]*)>([a-z,\s,\d]*)<\/[a-z,\d]*>/i',$string,$matches);

 

 

 

ooops. needed to escape backslash. try that. i just tested it and it works.
