Sorry i left out the equals sign it worked fine but now i change the code to this and when i run the script i get nothing <?php $strContent = file_get_contents('http://www.carzone.ie/search/results?searchsource=browse&cacheBuster=1256829754944212'); function getMatches($strMatch,$strContent) { if(preg_match_all($strMatch,$strContent,$objMatches)) { return $objMatches; } return ""; } $strMatch ='#<li class="vehicle"><a href="([^"]*)">([^<]*)</a>#is'; $objListMatches = getMatches($strMatch,$strContent); $sUrl = $objListMatches[1]; $sTitle = $objListMatches[2]; print_r($sUrl); echo "<br />"; print_r($sTitle); ?> Does the regular expression have to change now? Im looking for the same piece of html code in the carzone.ie url..

This is what im getting when i run the script Parse error: parse error in C:\Program Files\Apache Software Foundation\Apache2.2\htdocs\carzoneCrawler\preg_match.php on line 19

Please have a look at this script and tell me what is wrong.. Im trying to extract the link and whats between <a href> </a> and i only want to take the ones which have a class of class="vehicle" <?php function getMatches($strMatch,$strContent) { if(preg_match_all($strMatch,$strContent,$objMatches)) { return $objMatches; } return ""; } $strContent = '<li class="vehicle"><a href="http://www.domain.ie/abc?/">vehicle1</a> <li class="bus"><a href="http://www.domain.ie/abc?/">Alfa Romeo 147</a> <li class="vehicle"><a href="http://www.domain.ie/abc?/">vehicle2</a> <li class="van"><a href="http://www.domain.ie/abc?/">Alfa Romeo 147</a> <li class="van"><a href="http://www.domain.ie/abc?/">Alfa Romeo 147</a>'; $strMatch "#<li class=\"vehicle\"><a href=\"(.*)\">(.*)</a>#"; $objListMatches = getMatches($strMatch,$strContent); $sUrl = $objListMatches[1]; $sTitle = $objListMatches[2]; echo $sUrl; echo "<br />"; echo $sTitle; Any help will be greatly appreciated

Would you be able to give a small simple example Im only at the beginning stages of learning php...
