Question

Here is the text that needs to be preg_matched.

/* * product 2: * catalogServiceType = 2 * catalogCacheType = 1 * catalog2RemoteCacheActive = false */ var objProduct881705 = new ProductStyle("2","881705","","4149367","247",false,false,false,false,'','',"35401",false,'$79.50',true,false,false,false,0,false,true,false,true,99,5,"First content that needs to be matched",'Color',"","Machine.","","false","false","false",0,0,"C1","1","",true);obj={'S':'http://domainname.com/mini/image.jpg', 'L':'http://domainname.com/main/image.jpg'};

I would like to be able to grab the following from the text above:

1. First content that needs to be matched
2. http://domainname.com/main/image.jpg

How do you propose I can do this?

Answer 1

Here is how I solved it:

preg_match('/new ProductStyle\(([^\)]+)\)/', $html, $matches);
$jsonValues = '[' . $matches[1] . ']';
$jsonValues = preg_replace_callback("/(?<=,)'(.*?)'(?=,)/", create_function(
      '$matches',
      'return \'"\' . addslashes(strip_tags($matches[1])) . \'"\';'
    ), $jsonValues);
$values = json_decode($jsonValues);
