Update to my question:
My goal overall is to split the string into 4 parts that I can access later.
value
=
"
result of the html inside the first and last " "
Here is an example of what i'
m trying to do:
// My string (this is dynamic and will change, this is just an example)
$string = 'value="<p>Some text</p> <a href="#">linky</a>"';
// Run the match and spit out the results
preg_match_all('/([^"]*)(?:\s*=\s*(\042|\047))([^"]*)/is', $string , $results);
// Here is the array I want to end up with
Array
(
[0] => Array
(
[0] => value="<p>Some text</p><a href="#">linky</a>"
)
[1] => Array
(
[0] => value
)
[2] => Array
(
[0] => "
)
[3] => Array
(
[0] => <p>Some text</p><a href="#">linky</a>
)
)
Basically the double quotes on the link are causing me some trouble so my first though was to do [^"]$ or something to have it just run until the last double quote, but that isn't getting me anywhere. Another idea I had was maybe process the string in PHP to strip out any inner quotes, but i'
m not sure ho to go about this either.
Hopefully I'
m being clear, it is pretty late and i've been at this far too long!
