This question already has an answer here:
I have the following sample text
Some HTML[caption id="attachment_146" align="alignleft" width="450" caption="Annette during 2008 WSOP"]<a href='123'><img src='xxx' /></a>[/caption]More HTML
I would like to use regex to identify if the above piece of string contains the caption part ... and if it does I need to extract its attributes and the content within the square brackets i.e. the a tag and img tag
So far I was able to come up with
preg_match('^\[caption(.*?)\]^', $content, $matches);
Which seems to be able to identify the opening caption 'tag'
</div>
