Question

For example, if I have this code:

<!--start-here-->
<div>My Cool Content!!!</div>
<h1>Headerrr</h1>
<!--end-here-->
<div>Other Content</div>

How can I use a regular expression to just get the content between <–start-here–> and <–end-here–>?

So my output would be:

<div>My Cool Content!!!</div>
<h1>Headerrr</h1>

You don’t need regex

$str = '<!--start-here-->
        <div>My Cool Content!!!</div>
        <h1>Headerrr</h1>
        <!--end-here-->
        <div>Other Content</div>';

$return = explode('<!--start-here-->', $str);
$return = explode('<!--end-here-->', $return[1]);
$return = $return[0];

or with regex

$str = preg_match('/<!--start-here-->[\s\S]*<!--end-here-->/', $str, $return);
$return = $return[0];
