i have to find this chars sequence "<div" I use this pattern: "/\<div/" but the result array for preg_match is null: Array ( [0] => 

$domObject = "iajsdijasidijsad<div class=\"_3-ma _2bne\">`</div>sidjiasdjiasjdiasjid";`
$pattern = '/\<div/';
preg_match($pattern, $domObject, $result);
print_r($result);
