Well, what do you want it to do? On my system that properly replaces the
entire commented string with nothing. An example which puts something
else there instead:
<?php
$text = "<body>\n<h1>Hi</h1>\n<!-- foo --></body>\n" ;
$text = preg_replace('/<!--(.*)-->/','blah',$text) ;
print "text is .$text.\n";
?>
This yields
text is .<body>
<h1>Hi</h1>
blah</body>
.
as expected.
Note that since you're just replacing the entire comment with '' you
needn't bother with the () around whatever may be in the middle, too.
