Currently I'm working on a project where I need to get content from an HTML section and place it somewhere else.

We're using preg_match to find the content and put in an array. But we have a little struggle finding the right preg_match variables.

What we are using is this

preg_match('/<div class=\"sku\">(.*?)<\/div>/', $tmp, $match_sku);

But this is giving me an empty value in our array. What am I doing wrong?

You should use a parser for this. The `.` doesn't match new lines without the `s` modifier. – chris85 Feb 03 '17 at 17:09
How do I put that one within the query? I'm quite new to regex :) – Wouter Feb 03 '17 at 17:10
Hi Wouter, You have white-space character around digits. White-space can be match with **\s** Try this: preg_match('/
\s?(.*)<\/div>/', $tmp, $match_sku);

Use a parser, not a regex. – chris85 Feb 03 '17 at 17:14
Unfortunatly still not working Mike :( – Wouter Feb 03 '17 at 17:18
`'~
(.*?)
~s'`. Only good if there are no nested `div` tags. Else use a DOM parser. – Wiktor Stribiżew Feb 03 '17 at 23:47
