Complicated Preg_Match_All Problem

[Darren884]

I have the following:
preg_match_all('/<\b([^<>]*)>/', $structure[1], $objects);

The structure is my document that is being searched, and the objects is the variable. The problem is, I don't want the code to find another result until the first tag name has been closed.

For example:
<game><i>Pacman</i></game>

The above code will find 'game' and 'i' as a result, even though the tag name <game> has not been closed yet (</game>). So in reality it should only find 'game' as a result, ignoring 'i' because 'game' has not been closed yet. Can someone show me the correct preg_match_all I need. Thank you so much.

<?PHP
error_reporting(E_ALL|E_STRICT);

$structure = array(
    1 => '<game><i>Pacman</i></game>
    <game><i>Centipede</i></game>
    <game><b>Defender</b></game>');
    
$regex = '#<(\w+)(?:\s[^>]*)?>.*?</\1>#';

$result = preg_match_all($regex, $structure[1], $objects);

print "Result = $result\n";
var_dump($objects);
?>
