If there are no other HTML tags inside the div, then this regex should work:

$v = '<div class="fck_detail">Some content here</div>';
$regex = '#<div class="fck_detail">([^<]*)</div>#';
preg_match($regex, $v, $matches);
echo $matches[1];

The actual regex here is <div class="fck_detail">([^<]*)</div>. Regexes used in PHP also need to be surrounded by some other character that doesn't occur in the regex (I used #).

However, if what you're parsing is arbitrary HTML provided by the user, then preg_match simply can't do this. Full-fledged HTML parsing is beyond the ability of any regex, and that's what you'll need if you're parsing the output of a full-fledged HTML editor.
