regexpr help

[nullified]

 

Im trying to figure out regexpr but after a lot of reading and trial and error i think a real world e.g. maybe usefull for my dumbness

 

i would like to change this to use regexpr, does anyone have an e.g. or can anyone provide assistance.

 

function gethtml($search)
{

    // find out the first occurence of "</tr" and throw the superfluos stuff in front of it away
    $string = strchr($string, '</tr>');
    $string = str_replace('</td>', '|', $string);
    $string = str_replace('</tr>', '§', $string);
    $string = chop(strip_tags($string));
    $pieces = explode("§", $string);
    foreach($pieces as $val) {
        $bits = explode("|", $val);
        if (strchr($bits[0], $search)) {
            return $bits;
        }
    }
}

 

 

Thanks

I am pretty sure that this is probably better done your way, and this would take you longer to learn with regex unless you learned more of the basics, and tried to grasp some regex.
