Question

I have a string that looks like:

Pretext<thecontentineed>

I’ trying to write a regex that will pull “thecontentineed” from that string using preg_match

I’ve tried:

$string = "Pretext<thecontentineed>";    
preg_match("/<.*?>/" , $string, $output);

But that returns an empty array.

Answer 1

$string = "Pretext<thecontentineed>";    
preg_match("/<(.*?)>/" , $string, $output);

You forgot the ()
