Regex match single and double quotes problem

PHP
1

Hello,

I want to modify my code so that it would match both single and double quotes.

I changed this:

preg_match("/<meta[^>]+name=\\"description\\"[^>]+content=\\"([^\\"]*)\\"[^>]*>/si", $html, $match);

to

preg_match("/<meta[^>]+name=(?:\\"|')description(?:\\"|')[^>]+content=(?:\\"|')([^\\"]*)(?:\\"|')[^>]*>/si", $html, $match);

but it appears that the second code will crash the php without any error / warning.

What am I doing wrong?

Many thanks for help

Try using

error_reporting(E_ALL);

before your function call to see what the problem is. Also, what is that you are trying to accomplish exactly with the replacement? There should be an easier way.
