In your pattern  you simply want to match all text between the two tags  Thus  you could use for example a   w W  to match all characters   function getTextBetweenTags  string   tagname         pattern      lt  tagname gt    w W     lt    tagname gt         preg match  pattern   string   matches       return  matches 1

Since attribute values may contain a plain  gt  character  try this regular expression    pattern      lt   preg quote  tagname                gt                         gt       lt     preg quote  tagname         gt  s     But regular expressions are not suitable for parsing non-regular languages like HTML  You should better use a parser like SimpleXML or DOMDocument
