Php regex detecting flash object tags

[s0crates9]

Hello eveyone. I am not really that good at regexes and I have been working on oe to identify Flash <object> tags and I am not having any success. Can anyone help me out?

Here is the code I have set up to detect the tags:

if (preg_match("/\<object[0-9a-z\_\?\*\=\"\:\-\/\.\#\,\<\>\'\"\n\r\t\s]+\>.*\<\/object\>/smUi",$array[$i], $tag_contents))

Thanks in advance!

I've experimented with throwing the page code off of that URL (which has flash on it) and no code for flash or the object tag shows up. I suspect I may need to convert he code to pure HTML markup first before runing a regular expression. Does anyone know how to effectively do this?

What I have figured out thusfar is that although the flash code exists when doing a search in notepad for the <object tag, it does not show up in the array pulled from file($url), thus it doesn't match the Regex that I created (which has undergone multiple edits and tests).

I do need help turning the HTML code into pure HTML TEXT in order to match a regex pattern to it.
