So, I have this html file that basicaly says:

PHP Code: 
echo '<table>
<tr>
     <td>Welcome to:</td>
     <td><strong>Hell</strong></td>
</tr>
</table>'; 
(whether this code is or not valid, does not matter.. Is just of the sake of having an example)

Now, I have another php file that (should) gets (through CURL and preg_match) the "<strong>Hell</strong>" part:

Curl Result ends in the var: $Result
Pattern I want to match against the $Result: $pattern = '/ <td>Welcome to\:<\/td>
<td>(.*)<\/td>/m';
Preg Match result var: $pregResult

PHP Code: 
preg_match ($pattern, $Result, $pregResult) 
doing a var_dump($pregResult); returns an empty array
PHP Code: 
array(0) { } 
yet, testing my example and reg expr in the site http://www.spaweditor.com/scripts/regex/index.php it returns the expected value (<strong>Hell</strong>)

So, can anyone point me to what is going on wrong because I am out of ideas.

My setup is windows + XAMPP with phpversion 5.3.5.

Here are the actual php files:
-------------- test.php ------------
PHP Code: 
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">

<body>
<?php

echo '<table width="50%" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0">
  <tr>
    <td>Welcome to:</td>
  </tr>
  <tr>
    <td><strong>Hell</strong></td>
  </tr>
</table>';

?>
</body>
</html>
-------------- curl_teste.php ------------
PHP Code: 
<?php
error_reporting(-1);  

$curlTarget = "http://127.0.0.1/multiline/test.php";


$ch = curl_init();
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL,$curlTargget);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER,1);

$result = curl_exec ($ch);
curl_close($ch);

$patternCoiso = '/    <td>Welcome to:<\/td>
    <td>(.*)<\/td>/mi';

preg_match($patternCoiso, $result, $match);


var_dump($match);

?>
PCManiac Reviewed by PCManiac on . A doubt about php's preg_match result. So, I have this html file that basicaly says: echo '<table> <tr> <td>Welcome to:</td> <td><strong>Hell</strong></td> </tr> </table>'; (whether this code is or not valid, does not matter..
