Question

Please could someone explain to me why this regex does not match anything, when it should:

preg_match('@<title>([^<].)</title>@',$meta,$match);

I’m trying to match everything between the <title> and </title> tags, bearing in mind that there could be more than one, so the regex must be ungreedy.

Answer 1

You must mean ([^<]+) or ([^<]*) instead of ([^<].) as the latter means to match something not < and followed by any character
