Re: Extract everything between <object></object>

Well preg match will do the job. Try the following:

php Syntax (Toggle Plain Text)
<?
preg_match_all('/\<object(.*)\<\/object\>/is',$page_contents,$tmp);
$matches=$tmp[0]; unset($tmp);
 
//display the first one on the page
echo $matches[0];
?>
<?
preg_match_all('/\<object(.*)\<\/object\>/is',$page_contents,$tmp);
$matches=$tmp[0]; unset($tmp);

//display the first one on the page
echo $matches[0];
?>
