php - I can't use my regular expression right -


sorry guys, maybe question silly, i'm stuck...again regular expression...

look, have variable, ex: 

$str = "[quote]here 2013[/quote]";  $rega = preg_match_all("/[quote](.*)[quote]/i",$str,$hols);

when try $hols variable, this:

quote]here 2013[/quote

but need this:

here 2013

second question when try $str:

$str = "[quote]hello people    my...[/quote]";

so, regular expression, like:

quote]hello people

but need:

hello people    my...

i'd appreciate if explain me how handle it, how make right. because have no idea how fix it.

in addition frits has said, need escape brackets; asking regex match of characters 'q', 'u', 'o', 't' or 'e', followed anything, followed same characters again; reason match large has fact expression greedy, while frits' suggestion "break" (correctly, though). in short, escape brackets so:

/\[quote\](.*?)\[\/quote\]/mis

more explanation:

considering earlier pattern:

/[quote](.*)[quote]/i

you asking for:

  1. any character of set [quote]
  2. any character except newline, 0 or more times
  3. any character of set [quote]

so, example, string queen's charter! match, queen's charte inner match of ueen's chart (since first , last character class not captured).

if make second step non-greedy, qu, ee, , te, no inner matches @ all.

edit: replying comment

i ran following code:

preg_match_all(     '/\[quote\](.*?)\[\/quote\]/mis',     "[quote]a test!  marvelous test![/quote]",     $matches );  var_dump($matches);

and got following result:

array (size=2)   0 =>      array (size=1)       0 => string '[quote]a test!  marvelous test![/quote]' (length=41)   1 =>      array (size=1)       0 => string 'a test!  marvelous test!' (length=26)
