Question

I am trying to match few html tags using PHP’s preg_match function. Please tell me is this expression correct.

$keyword = "keyword";

$contents = "some random keyword some random keyword some random keyword some random 
keyword some random keyword some random keyword some random keyword some random keyword 
some random keyword some random keyword some random keyword some random keyword some  
random keyword some random keyword some random <strong>keyword</strong> some 
random keyword some random keyword some random keyword 
some random keyword some random keyword some random keyword  ";

 $seo_pattern = "/<strong>{1}keyword{1}</strong>{1}/";

if(preg_match($seo_pattern, $contents)){
echo "<br>Match found :)";
}else{
echo "<br>No match found!";
}

I am not getting any matches ? 🙁

Answer 1

Escape the slash

$seo_pattern = "/<strong>keyword<\/strong>/";
                          here __^
