Regex in PHP to extract between tags

Hello

*All* I want to do, and it's driving me nuts, is to remove everything in a string that appears between <e> and </e>. Anything at all can appear between those two tags and they may appear more than once in the string but always in that order. "<e>.*<e>" takes out everything of course, i.e. :

<e>blahblah</e> 123456 <e>booboo</e>

removes the whole lot rather than leaving the 123456...

Inspiration, assistance and even a solution are greatly appreciated

Christopher

<?
$code="<e>blahblah</e> 123456 <e>booboo</e>";
$sections=split("<[/]?e>", $code);

//now the indeces of the $sections array contain 'blahblah', ' 123456 ', and 'booboo', respectively

?>

Sorry, I didn't pay attention to the question...

To remove it, try something like

<?

$var="blahblah<e>123456</e>booboo";

$var=ereg_replace("<e>[a-zA-Z0-9<>/]{1,}</e>", "", $var);

print"$var<br>";

?>

This will replace most HTML tag elements -> to blow away other stuff like asterisks, the @ sign, etc. just mess around with the regex a bit

if $var="<e>blahblah</e> 123456 <e>booboo</e>";

you will be left with ' 123456 '
