How to format PHP preg_match

Question

How do I find these and other options:

<title itemprop="name">Title</title>
<title>Title</title>

with this

preg_match('/<title>([^>]*)<\/title>/si', $contents, $match );

Thanks!

Answer 1

If you want to get all the titles then you'll probably want to use preg_match_all nd not preg_match. You should also take into consideration that there might be extra data (such as attributes) right after the <title. Lastly, your "greater-than" sign should be changed to a "greater-than" - you're looking until a new tag is begining.

Here's a working solution:

preg_match_all('/<title[^>]*>([^<]*)<\/title>/si', $contents, $match );
