PHP Regex find text between custom added HTML Tags

I have he following scenario:

Got an HTML template file that will be used for mailing.

Here is a reduced example:

    <table>
<tr>
<td>Heading 1</td>
<td>heading 2</td>
</tr>
<PRODUCT_LIST>
<tr>
<td>Value 1</td>
<td>Value 2</td>
</tr>
</PRODUCT_LIST>
</table>

All I need to do is to get the HTML开发者_JS百科 code inside <PRODUCT_LIST> and then repeat that code as many times as products I have on an array.

What would be the right PHP Regex code for getting/replacing this List?

Thanks!

Assuming <PRODUCT_LIST> tags will never be nested

preg_match_all('/<PRODUCT_LIST>(.*?)<\/PRODUCT_LIST>/s', $html, $matches);

//HTML array in $matches[1]
print_r($matches[1]);

Use Simple HTML DOM Parser. It's easy to understand and use .

$html = str_get_html($content);
$el = $html->find('PRODUCT_LIST', 0);
$innertext = $el->innertext;

Use this function. It will return all found values as an array.

<?php
function get_all_string_between($string, $start, $end)
{
    $result = array();
    $string = " ".$string;
    $offset = 0;
    while(true)
    {
        $ini = strpos($string,$start,$offset);
        if ($ini == 0)
            break;
        $ini += strlen($start);
        $len = strpos($string,$end,$ini) - $ini;
        $result[] = substr($string,$ini,$len);
        $offset = $ini+$len;
    }
    return $result;
}

$result = get_all_string_between($input_string, '<PRODUCT_LIST>', '</PRODUCT_LIST>');

as above is ok but with performance is really horrible If You can use PHP 5 you can use DOM object like this :

     <?php
      function getTextBetweenTags($tag, $html, $strict=0)
    {
     /*** a new dom object ***/
    $dom = new domDocument;

    /*** load the html into the object ***/
    if($strict==1)
    {
        $dom->loadXML($html);
    }
    else
    {
        $dom->loadHTML($html);
    }

    /*** discard white space ***/
    $dom->preserveWhiteSpace = false;

    /*** the tag by its tag name ***/
    $content = $dom->getElementsByTagname($tag);

    /*** the array to return ***/
    $out = array();
    foreach ($content as $item)
    {
        /*** add node value to the out array ***/
        $out[] = $item->nodeValue;
    }
    /*** return the results ***/
    return $out;
}
?>

and after adding this function You can just use it as:

$content = getTextBetweenTags('PRODUCT_LIST', $your_html);

foreach( $content as $item )
{
    echo $item.'<br />';
}
?>

yep, i just learn this today. dont use preg for html with php5

try this regular expression in preg match all function

<PRODUCT_LIST>(.*?)<\/PRODUCT_LIST>
