This question already has an answer here:
i have a string
<div class="line"><input name="sid" value="" type="hidden"><img src="1.jpg" height="40" width="180"><input name="word" size="30" maxlength="50" value="" type="text"></div>
and i trying to find and replace whole input with name = word, with this regexp:
/<input .+?word.+?>/ui
preg_match returns this:
array (
0 => '<input name="sid" value="" type="hidden"><img src="1.jpg" alt="CAPTCHA" height="40" width="180"><input name="word" size="30" maxlength="50" value="" type="text">',
)
please help me to write working regexp
</div>
Use this one: /<input[^>]+name="word".+?>/ui
In your pattern it finds first <input and then until word... If you use <input[^>]+ it will find <input and than group of simbols except closing > until name="word".
Use this one: /<input ([^>]+)?name=['"]?word['"]?([^>]+)?>/ui
