PHP - Using Preg_match_all To Get Content Between Brackets?

Hello all!  So I am working on screen scraping a site for my son's rec league.  I seem to be having problem with the pre_match_all syntax.  Here is my code

Code: [Select]

<?php

$url = "http://www.mywebsite.com";
$raw = file_get_contents($url);

$newlines = array("\t","\n","\r","\x20\x20","\0","\x0B");
$content = str_replace($newlines, "", html_entity_decode($raw));

$start = strpos($content,'table border="1" cellpadding="1" cellspacing="0"');
$end = strpos($content,'</table>',$start) + 8;

$table = substr($content,$start,$end-$start);

preg_match_all("|<tr(.*)</tr>|U",$table,$rows);
foreach ($rows[0] as $row){

    if ((strpos($row,'<th')===false)){
    
        preg_match_all("|<td(.*)</td>|U",$row,$cells);
        
        $game_date = strip_tags($cells[0][0]);
        
        $game_time = strip_tags($cells[0][1]);
        
        $rink = strip_tags($cells[0][2]);

$home_team = strip_tags($cells[0][3]);

$home_score = strip_tags($cells[0][4]); 

$visiting_team = strip_tags($cells[0][5]);

$visiting_score = strip_tags($cells[0][6]);
           
echo "{$game_date} @ {$game_time} : [{$home_team}] - {$home_score} vs. [{$visiting_team}] - {$visiting_score} <br>\n";

    }

}

?>

My issue is that I am trying to get it to only display the data if the team name = x.  I tried to replace the   preg_match_all("|<td(.*)</td>|U",$row,$cells); with   preg_match_all("|Posse|U",$row,$cells);   (Posse is one of the team names).   No luck. 

Any input/thoughts?!  Thank you!!

Hi there i have this code:
Code: [Select]
$str = "<i><font color="800080"> man </font></i><p><font color="9898989"> hi </font></p><p><font color="1111111"> cheers </font></p>";
$pattern = '/<font .*?>(.*?)<\/font>/';
if(preg_match_all($pattern, addslashes($str), $posts)){
        $i=0;
for($i; $i < count($posts[0]); $i++){
            echo "content: " . $posts[0][$i] . "<br/>";
            echo "colour: " . $posts[1][$i] . "<br/>";
             echo "<br />";
           
           }
}
and it doesn't work apparently because of the addslashes but its really needed as double quotes needs to be escaped, consider that i'm applying this code to a larger html file with hundreds of double quotes to be escaped....

error msg i get is Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_LNUMBER in
thanks in advance..

This is rather bothering as I know if you use the delimiter / regex pattern s it should ignore newlines


 preg_match_all("%<p><b>(.*?)</b>%s", $html, $data);


Returns a blank array
the page data is like so

<p>

                        <b>41,910</b><br/>
                        Total Points
                    </p>

Never had a problem before that i can recall but for some reason with this page it's giving me issues. Maybe i'm missing something?

I have noticed that if I run the preg_match_all function and use PREG_OFFSET_CAPTURE option to start capture somwhere in the middle of the string the second half of the string will be searched first returning the matching sections along with positions, then it goes up to the top half and returns matches from there too.
Is there way to parse only between start point and end of string?

Hi Guys

Quick noob question.

I am still fairly new to oop and i'm trying to also build my first simple mvc to learn about that too.

I came across some syntax use in a tutorial that works but i don't really understand why and don't know what this is called to search for it on google.

I've instantiated the class and then i pull out and explode the url to make controller or function calls in the mvc. The noob bit i don't understand is this

Code: [Select]
$controller->{$url[1]}();
Why do the curly brackets allow you to place a variable name? And what is this type of syntax called so i can read about it.

Any help would be massively appreciated!

Drongo

Hi Yes I start a new thread, this is probably the correct one.

Hello,

i am trying to pull the innerHTML out of this:

Code: [Select]
<a href="(.*?)">(.*?)</a>
here is what I have:

Code: [Select]
<?php

$html = file_get_contents("http://www.businessinvestingsource.com/blcheck2.html");
preg_match_all('/<a href="(.*?)">(.*?)<\/a>/', $html, $links, PREG_SET_ORDER);

foreach ($links as $link) {
    $linkto = $link[1];
$anchor = $link[0];

echo "<b>Link:</b> ".$linkto."<br /><b>Anchor:</b> ".$anchor."<br /><br /> ";
}

?>
Now this code works but the innerHTML is coming out as a link I want it to come out as plaintext you can view he http://businessinvestingsource.com/anchorcheck2.php

Can anyone help?

Thank you.

I have code:
$proname1 = preg_match_all('/<div class=("|\')agentContainer("|\')>(\n\s)<div class="strong">(\n\s)(.*?)(\n\s)<\/div>/', $html, $name1);()
Which is putting everything between these tags into an array, but the info contains new lines and whitespace, thus displaying empty entries in the array. How do I strip the whitespace and newlines prior to getting to the array? The data Im getting looks like...

Code: [Select]
<div class="agentContainer">
<div class="strong">
Blah Blah Company
</div>
And blah blah company isnt showing up in the array, but I know the regex is working.

Hi,

I have the written the following code which scrapes price info from a website:

$url = 'http://www.mydomain.com';
$html = file_get_contents($url);
$pattern = '/<span class="price">(.*?)<\/span>/';
preg_match_all($pattern, $html, $matches);
print_r($matches);

It works well however I need to add in the delivery cost to each array element with a different pattern:
/<span class="delivery">(.*?)<\/span>/';

Any idea how i can do this so each array element has both the price and delivery costs in a two dimensional array?

Thanks for your advice

Hi

Ive been trying to solve this problem for a few hours but am having no luck so would appreciate any help

Im looking for a function/way of extracting info from a dropdown list when a form is submitted. The form field has a name and email address i.e John (john@smith.com) and i just need the email address part to submit into a mysql database.

I tried using the explode() function but this didnt work.

Any ideas?

Cheers
Andy

Code: [Select]
30|24|17,5|4|20,15|13|33,15|22|33,9|20|22
Let's say my output is that,

Realistically every 3numbers is 1 Ticket they are seperated by a "," (comma)

I want to wrap parenthesis around them so the output would look like this

Code: [Select]
(30|24|17) (5|4|20) (15|13|33) (15|22|33) (9|20|22)
Now would I have to use regex.. or not cuz regex is extremely difficult

Thanks 

hi silly little question but if I want to bracket something inside PHP how do I do it eg my code is

Code: [Select]
  <th class="alignright"><?php echo $ass_descrip; ?>&nbsp;
                           (<?php echo $ass_accro ; ?>) &nbsp;<?php echo FindTypeName ($type_id); ?></th>
printing out         British Eventing  (BE) 

But the brackets at the moment are outside the PHP I want to put a conditional on it and include the brackets inside my conditional statement.?

Hello All,
 
I have been wrestling with a regex for a couple of hours now and I finally had to give in and ask for help.  The weird thing is that it works if there are no new lines in the text, it fails if there is a new line(s) present.  
 
The code:

$matches = array();
$pattern = '~\[CUSTOM_TAG(.*?)\](.*?)\[/CUSTOM_TAG\]~';
preg_match_all($pattern, $html, $matches);
if (!empty($matches[0])){
foreach($matches[0] as $code){
$parameter = preg_replace($pattern, '$1', $code);
$content = preg_replace($pattern, '$2', $code);//get the content between the pattern
}//foreach($matches[0] as $code){
}else{
echo 'Match failed';
}//if (!empty($matches[0])){

 
So with that code in mind, if the $html variable (the text to be processed) is:

$html = '<h1>Hello, world!</h1><p style="color:#ff0000;">Some red text</p>';

A match is found.  
 
 
If the $html variable is:

$html = '<h1>Hello, world!</h1>
<p style="color:#ff0000;">Some red text</p>';

Match not found
 
Hopefully I'm just missing something simple in my regex.
 
Thanks in advance!
