    Ouch--Three demerits!

    1. Using a regex to parse XML (especially when the OP is clearly asking about Xpath)
    2. Incorrect regex that won't solve the problem (try $str='<c>foo</c>')
    3. Untested code without a warning. (Try adding g modifier to match to prevent an infinite loop.)

    Run the code you provided, I'm sure its results earned a down vote or two. Also the first rule of down vote club is do not talk about down vote club.
