Thanks guys. First I'd like to tackle this the non-DOM way and then go about it the DOM way to round out my understanding. For now, the first way I'm still unclear on as the dynamic nature of the strings involved is throwing me for a loop here.
Can you provide a code segment to explain this? For now I'm doing a file_get_contents to load up the hole HTML page. Once I have that I can easily find the title tag. However, since the month/date (plus spaces and a dash) are dynamic AND I need the text after it) I'm not at all sure how to segment out the middle section. Explode isn't going to cut it I don't believe as the delimiter isn't the same on both sides. Remember the string is essentially:
<title>This weekend's stats for February 22-23, 2013 ---</title>
Then the next hurdle is how to adjust that to be able to do the same thing for the movie titles as, in this case, a preg_match seems obvious. I need an array of upwards of 80 movies to select from. That looks like this: (assuming I can paste this):
<td><font size="2"><a href="/movies/?id=safehaven.htm"><b>Safe Haven</b></a></font></td>
The text I'll need there is the URL and, separately, the textual movie title.
Thanks again.
