Shawn,
First thing I see--your first capture group doesn't include the $, and
so your final capture group will always fail given your current $out
(because it's looking for {/sites} instead of {/$sites}). Also, your
{} are outside of your capture group in \1, but inside in \3. Here's
what I came up with:
$out = '
{$sites}
<tr>
<td>
{Site.id}
</td>
</tr>
{/$sites}';
$matches = array();
preg_match_all('#{(\$[^}]+)}(.*?){(/\1)}#s', $out, $matches);
print_r($matches);
Produces this:
Array
(
[0] => Array
(
[0] => {$sites}
<tr>
<td>
{Site.id}
</td>
</tr>
{/$sites}
)
[1] => Array
(
[0] => $sites
)
[2] => Array
(
[0] =>
<tr>
<td>
{Site.id}
</td>
</tr>
)
[3] => Array
(
[0] => /$sites
)
)
Keep in mind, I had to view the page source in order to see the HTML
tags, but it showed me everything I expected to see.
