Get text between HTML tags [duplicate]

Answer 1

Don't parse HTML via preg_match, use this PHP class instead:

The DOMDocument class

Example:

hi

H1 title
H2 title
H2 title
";
 // a new dom object 
 $dom = new domDocument('1.0', 'utf-8'); 
 // load the html into the object 
 $dom->loadHTML($html); 
 //discard white space 
 $dom->preserveWhiteSpace = false; 
 $hTwo= $dom->getElementsByTagName('h2'); // here u use your desired tag
 echo $hTwo->item(0)->nodeValue; 
 //will return "H2 title";
 ?>
