PHP - Preg_match_all Help With Whitespace And Newlines

i want to find the text between "{:" and ":}", may be 1 or more instances of this

i'm using this php:

$str = "hello {:first_name:} ha, this is {:awesome:} haha";
$do = preg_match_all("/{:(.*):}/", $str, $matches);


which works if theres just one instance, but when you use more than 1 instance (like the above example) it returns:

first_name:} ha, this is {:awesome

But i want it to return a value of first_name, AND a separate value of "awesome"

ideas?

thanks

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..

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!!

I am trying to use preg_match_all to find some information on a webpage.

Here is what I am currently using

<?php
$homepage = "http://www.example.com";
$page_contents1 = file_get_contents($homepage);
$names1 = preg_match_all('/<span class="video_date">(.*)</span> - <a class="b" href="/(.*)/">(.*)</a><br/>\/', $page_contents1, $matches1);
echo implode(", ", $matches1[1]);
?>


I am trying to match this piece of html:
<span class="video_date">Oct 21</span> - <a class="b" href="/meanwhilezealand/">   Meanwhile in New Zealand...</a><br/>

Thanks for looking!

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?

For example.

I have the following:

Andrew (Age 19)

How would I get the content between the brackets, Age 19 using preg_match_all or a similar function?

Thanks very much

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.

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

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!

preg_match_all('/(www.DOMAIN.com\/([^"]+))\"/i', $html, $matches);

How do you make this match any URL on the domain including URLs with ? = & type of characters.

First time post, be easy on me...   I'm using preg_match_all to return an array with all the matches.  I know I'm missing something fundamental, but I either keep looking past it or am more screwy than I know.   Sample String

CC-BY-ND-NC

I'm using the following code

preg_match_all("/cc|creative commons|copyright|by|sa|nc|nd/i",$exifmeta['copyright'],$cmeta)

I would expect to see

Array
(
    [0] => Array
        (
            [0] => CC
            [1] => BY
            [2] => ND
            [3] => NC
        )

)

What I get is

Array
(
    [0] => Array
        (
            [0] => CC
            [1] => BY
            [2] => ND
            [3] => NC
            [4] => sa
        )

)
