Thread: php regex help

i trying parse webpage , read few tags. example, have many <form> tags in page , want specific tag having specific id, "loginform"

html code:

<form id="loginform" style="margin:0px;" action="targetpage.php" method="post">

i want read part.

created pattern preg_match:

php code:

$pattern = '/\<form[.\s]*(id="loginform")+[^\>]*\>/i'; 


well, when test works fine, if there multiple forms, selects 1 having "loginform" id.

when try on actual page, fails. may reason is, actual page may contain newline characters, not sure, can tell me how overcome problem?

in advance.

use m modifier eg. in case add '/im' end of regex.
