Sorry, I know this isn't particularly on-topic (aside from the fact that I'm using Textmate!) but I'm not having luck with the search engines.

I have a bunch of HTML that needs to be converted to XHTML, notably <input type="text"> needs to be <input type="text"/> which is easy enough. Problem is, it's PHP so there are things like <input type="<?php echo $type?>"> which I'm having troubles with. So how can I create a regular expression that captures the guts of the HTML brackets, while ignoring any PHP brackets it might come across inside the HTML?

With that particular example, just passing the HTML thru HTML Tidy's HTML -> XHTML conversion does the right thing. m.
