php - preg_match_all not matching all possibilities -

i'm trying retrieve all matches receiving one

here string

$html = '<p> home page.</p><p><span style="line-height: 1.42857;">{{ type="slider" }} </span></p><p> </p>'; 

if see string contain {{ type="slider" }} , if write string once getting expected result, if write multiple times in html sting {{ type="slider" }} {{ type="banned" }} {{ type="testimonial" }}

$html = '<p> home page.</p><p><span style="line-height: 1.42857;">{{ type="slider" }} {{ type="banner" }} {{ type="testimonial" }}  </span></p><p> </p>'; 

and try values within string {{ type=" ???? " }} shows weird result

i using below code .

preg_match_all('/{{ type=\"(.+)\" }}/', $html, $matches, preg_set_order); echo "<pre>"; print_r($matches); foreach ($matches $val) {     echo "matched: ". $val[0] . "<br/>";     echo "my value" . $val[1] . "<br/>";  } 

current result :

array (     [0] => array         (             [0] => {{ type="slider" }} {{ type="banner" }} {{ type="testimonial" }}             [1] => slider" }} {{ type="banner" }} {{ type="testimonial         )  ) matched: {{ type="slider" }} {{ type="banner" }} {{ type="testimonial" }} value : slider" }} {{ type="banner" }} {{ type="testimonial 

i expecting result in array values written between {{ type=" , " }}

with {{ type="slider" }} getting result perfect.

array (     [0] => array         (             [0] => {{ type="slider" }}             [1] => slider         )  ) matched: {{ type="slider" }} value : slider 

any idea ?

sorry bad english.

you need make regex match non-greedy adding either ? :

preg_match_all('/{{ type=\"(.+?)\" }}/', $html, $matches, preg_set_order); 

or u modifier:

preg_match_all('/{{ type=\"(.+)\" }}/u', $html, $matches, preg_set_order);
