Regex to match all closing HTML tags

Question

For some reason, I need to remove all closing HTML tags from a string in PHP, so I need a Regular Expression to match all closing HTML Tags. I'm extremely unexperienced with Regular Expressions, so I tried using /\\<\\\\.*\\>/g and /<\\\\.*>/g , but that didn't work. What should I use instead?

Please note that I only want to match closing HTML tags. Opening HTML Tags should remain untouched. Thanks in advance!

Answer 1

Matching HTML with a regex is not a good idea, but if you have to, you can use

/<\/[^<>]*>/g

Explanation:

</     # Match </
[^<>]* # Match any number of characters except angle brackets
>      # Match >

Answer 2

Use this regex:

</.+?>

or

/<\/.+?>/

That will do.

Answer 3

/<\/[\w^_]*>/

因为您不希望匹配标记中的？。=-和_。
