assertTags() public ¶
assertTags( string $string , array $expected , string $fullDebug = false )
Takes an array $expected and generates a regex from it to match the provided $string. Samples for $expected:
Checks for an input tag with a name attribute (contains any non-empty value) and an id attribute that contains 'my-input':
{{{ array('input' => array('name', 'id' => 'my-input')) }}}
Checks for two p elements with some text in them:
{{{ array( array('p' => true), 'textA', '/p', array('p' => true), 'textB', '/p' ) }}}
You can also specify a pattern expression as part of the attribute values, or the tag being defined, if you prepend the value with preg: and enclose it with slashes, like so:
{{{ array( array('input' => array('name', 'id' => 'preg:/FieldName\d+/')), 'preg:/My\s+field/' ) }}}
Important: This function is very forgiving about whitespace and also accepts any permutation of attribute order. It will also allow whitespace between specified tags.

- array $expected
- An array, see above
- string $fullDebug optional false
- Whether or not more verbose output should be used.
