PHP/Regex recursive tags in html template

I'm using my own PHP code to render template files as HTML codes. I need a regex to parse the recursive tags correctly, in this example it's the permission tags.

Example: Template code:

<if condition="is_admin">
     Show this
     <if condition="can_do_this">
         Show this
     </if>
     <if condition="can_do_that">
         Show that
     </if>
</if>

I want to capture the contents inside each 'if' tag correctly, and of course without any nested tags problems.

I saw a Regex that will work perfectly on css:

/{(?:[^{}]+|(?R))*}/sg

However when I change to my format, it's not working. I've changed to:

/<if condition="(.[^"]*)">(?:(?!<if condition=".[^>]*">|<\/if>)|(?R))*<\/if>/sg

What should I change for it to work?

Thank you.
