Question

I’m trying to get php code out of a HTML template file to execute it and place the result back.
What regular expression code can I use? And is there a method that also return the position of the found first tag?

<p>some html</p>

<?php $some = "php code"; ?>

<p>some <em>more</em> html</p>

<?php $some = "more php code"; ?>

I want the php code filtered from the html.

Answer 1

preg_match("/<\?.*?\?>/m",$output,$matches)

or

preg_match("/<\?.*?\?>/s",$output,$matches)

Should match all lines.
