thanks crayon for your help. i played with it some this morning and got it to work now. im not exactly sure why it was skipping every other one but the following worked for me. preg_match_all('~<div.+?class="td.+?"[^>]*>.+?<p.+?id=".+?height.+?"[^>]*>(.*?)</p>~is',$target2,$height);

gave it a try but still same result. I'll have to take a deeper look at it later today when I have a bit of time. seems odd to me. thanks

thanks, it does work but for some rreason I only get every other user_id entry saved to my $weight array. any thoughts why this would happen? for example, $weight[0]= "user2" $weight[1]= "user4" etc... I'm using the following code preg_match_all('~<div.+?"td user_ref"[^>]*>.+?<p.+?id="user\d+?"[^>]*>(.*?)</p>~is',$html,$weight); the html is the same for each user, <div class="td user_ref"> <p class="mweight" id="user_id"> Weight Value </p> </div>

Thanks, that worked for me. There was one issue I was still having on another segment within the html where I'm using regex too. <div class="td user_ref"> <p class="mweight" id="user_id"> Weight Value </p> </div> In this case I used the following regex and I don't know what to put in following the id=??????? because my user id is a numeric value greater than 1, i.e id="user1", "user2"..."user27".."user98" etc. Also I don't want to include the class="mweight" because that is the same in other <p></p> segments I'm not interested in. I can return the first 9 if I use a /d but I don't know how to return for all numbers greater than or equal to 1. preg_match_all('~<div.+?"td user_ref"[^>]*>.+?<p.+?id=???????[^>]*>(.*?)</p>~is',$html,$weight); thanks for your help

If anyone can help out with preg_match_all or some guidance that would be greatly appreciated. I'm trying to pull some user info from my html which looks like below. <div class="td user_ref"> <p class="alignright" id="user"> <span class="Height">FT</span> <span><span class="user_ref" userid="jbk" mwformat=",2" userfield="height1">6.3</span> </span> </p> </div> I am looking to pull only the 6.3 and place it into an array. I've displayed one div class but I will have between 20 to 30 html segments just like this in my complete html. Also, there are other div classes not equal to "td user_ref" within the html which should be ignored. I would like to extract each height and place it within the height array. preg_match_all($string_pattern, $html, $height); I've been attempting to learn the $string_pattern part with regular expressions but only getting constant headaches. all help and thoughts appreciated..thanks
