PHP Regex to match multiline

Question

        $data[\'infos\'][] = array(
                  


        

Answer 1

If a simple pattern would be sufficient depends on how your input could look like.

$re = '~\Q$data[\'infos\'][]\E.*?\);~s';

• \Q...\E is used to match literally (also could escape the brackets/dollar).
• .*? in single line mode (s flag) matches lazily any amount of any character.
