How to collect all html tags of a page into one large array?

Hi

I have the following HTML snippet:

$string=<IMG SRC=foo><FONT COLOR=red>foofoofoo</FONT>

I would like to get the HTML tags and place them into an array called $var so that
var[1]=<IMG SRC=foo>;
var[2]=<FONT COLOR=red>;
var[3]=</FONT>;

I tried the following code but with no luck:

eregi("(<.*> )",$string,$var);

Any help would be appreciated!!!

You should pass the values to the variable in double quotes.


var[1]=<IMG SRC=foo>;
var[2]=<FONT COLOR=red>;
var[3]=</FONT>;


This was wrong actaully.

$var[]="<IMG SRC=foo>";
$var[]="<FONT COLOR=red>";
$var[]="</FONT>";

if you want to pass these tags to just a variable then you could use the following..

$var="<IMG SRC=foo>";
$var.="<FONT COLOR=red>";
$var.="</FONT>";

Thanks for your reply but I am afraid that you have misunderstood my question. I have a line of arbitrary HTML code with x tags. I need a way to use regular expressions to store each of those tags into an array. Can this be done with ereg()?

Thank you!

I doubt you could do this with a single regular expression. If the page contains JavaScript, for example, there might be many < characters that would throw your regexp off.:

<script language='javascript'>
if (x < 10 && y > 20) { ...


In this case, you would get < 10 && y > as an HTML tag. Similarly, if the content of the page contained any < characters, you'd get thrown.

You might want to write a loop that checks the file one character at a time. When it hits a <script or <SCRIPT, make it skip ahead until it gets a </script or </SCRIPT (unless of course, you also want to capture any HTML tags embedded in the JavaScript. Then you'll have to come up with similar rules to handle <s that might be in the page content.
