正则表达式 - 如何一次匹配一个模式

Question

I've this function that parses some content to retrieve homemade link tag and convert it to normal link tag.

Possible input:

<p>blabalblahhh <moolinkx pageid="121">text to click</moolinkx> blablabah</p>

Output :

<p>blabalblahhh <a href="whateverpage.htm">text to click</a> blablabah</p>

Here is my code:

$regex = '/\<moolinkx pageid="(.{1,})"\>(.{1,})\<\/moolinkx\>/';
preg_match_all( $regex, $string, $matches );

It works perfectly well if there is only one in the string. But as soon as there is a second one, it doesn't work.

Input:

<p>blabalblahhh <moolinkx pageid="121">text to click</moolinkx>  blablabah.</p>
<p>Another <moolinkx pageid="128">text to clickclick</moolinkx> again blablablah.</p>

That's what I got when I print_r($matches):

Array
(
[0] => Array
    (
        [0] => <moolinkx pageid="121">text to click</moolinkx>  blablabah.</p><p>Another <moolinkx pageid="128">text to clickclick</moolinkx>
    )

[1] => Array
    (
        [0] => 121">text to click</moolinkx>  blablabah.</p><p>Another <moolinkx pageid="128
    )

[2] => Array
    (
        [0] => text to clickclick
    )

)

I'm not at ease with regex, so it must be something very trivial... but I can't pinpoint what it is :(

Thank you very much in advance!

NB: This is my first post here, though I've been using this terrific Q&A for ages!

Use a negative Regex:
$regex = '/<moolinkx pageid="([^"]+)">([^<]+)<\/moolinkx>/';
