Hi all,

I want to check a site if table elements exist.

So I use :

preg_match_all('%<table[^>]*>.*?</\1>%', $file, $matches);

 I want for every  table element I found to ckeck if has summary attribute.

If all the tables havesummary --> From %d tables I found all of them have summary attribute.

Or  print --> From %d tables I found %d havingsummary attribute.

And something else I want to ckeck if a table has <th> element , check between <th> and </th> if exist <abbr> attribute

Thanks a lot

\1 in that content would only work if you had the tag in parens:

Please provide an example of your source text and what you want to match.

Case 1

$file="<table border="4" summary="Hi"></table><table border="7" summary="Hi33443"></table>";

print : I found 2 tables and all of them have summary attribute.

 Case 2

$file="<table border="4"></table><table border="7" summary="Hi33443"></table>";

print : I found 2 tables and 1 of them has summary attribute

-----------------------------------------------------

Cases for the other question

Case 1:

$file="<table border="4"><tr><th><abbr title="et cetera">etc.</abbr></th></tr></table><table border="7" summary="Hi33443"></table>";

print : Every th element I found had abbr attribute

Case 2:

$file="<table border="4"><tr><th><abbr title="et cetera">etc.</abbr></th></tr></table><table border="7" summary="Hi33443"><tr><th>etc.</th></tr><tr><th><abbr title="yes">yeap.</abbr></th></tr></table>";

print : I found th element with no abbr attibute
