PHP Regex XML to allow attributes

Question

/<peanut\:compressedContent>(.*?)<\/peanut\:compressedContent>/si

currently support no attributes but i also want to capture the stuff even if it has attributes.

this is just extracting compressed gzip content; then gunziping it and then i am using simple xml parser.. — user463132

Don't use REGEX when you should use DOM/XML parsing. See: php.net/DOM and php.net/xml — McHerbie

By using your method: because i am not using a full crystal clear xml document its a binary document with alot of hex jibberish and partial xml... long story....

You can use [^>]* to match/ignore anything within tags. Likewise you might want to use [^<>]* instead of .*? for ensuring it only matches text content:

/<peanut:compressedContent[^>]*>([^<>]*)<\/peanut:compressedContent>/si
