Question

I am having a problem with Regex (yes, again, one day I have to sit and read about it).
Here is the code I’m using;

$string = "[if-protectDelete-{0}-][data]name[/data] can be deleted[/elseif][elseif-{1}-][data]name[/data] can't be deleted[/elseif][elseif-{2}-]No data[/elseif][/endif]";

if (preg_match_all("#\[elseif-\{(.+)\}-\](.+?)\[/elseif\]#", $string, $matches)) {
                        dumper($matches[0]);
                    }

$matches[0] output is;

array(1) {
      [0]=>
      string(75) "[elseif-{1}-]PHP REGEX can't be deleted[/elseif][elseif-{2}-]No data[/elseif]"
}

I can get the part right for if, but elseif… It is totally different scenario I guess.
Shouldn’t it out put like this? ;

array {
[0] => "[elseif-{1}-]PHP REGEX can't be deleted[/elseif]",
[1] => "[elseif-{2}-]No data[/elseif]"
}

I will be glad if anyone could help me out with my problem.

Just add ?

your : \[elseif-\{(.+)\}-\](.+?)\[/elseif\]
right: \[elseif-\{(.+?)\}-\](.+?)\[/elseif\]
