Converting a perl regular expression to php

please help...

[irubin]

Hello,

I have the following perl regular expression that return a string with two HTML comments, that is:

$content = "<!-- DETAILS BEGIN -->this is my string<!-- DETAILS END -->";

($string) = $content =~ /<!--\s*DETAILS\s+BEGIN\s*-->\s*(.*?)\s*<!--\s*DETAILS\s+END\s*-->/gs;

How can this be converted to php?

Any help will be appreciated.

I'm lowsy with reg ex but I think the preg functions are compatible with perl regex. Check out preg_match()

$content = "<!-- DETAILS BEGIN -->this is my string<!-- DETAILS END -->"; 
 
preg_match("/<!--\s*DETAILS\s+BEGIN\s*-->\s*(.*?)\s*<!--\s*DETAILS\s+END\s*-->/s",$content,$match);
 
echo $match[1];
