RegEx between two specific tags

[btray77]

I really need to go buy that regex book, but I just don't have the time to read it lately.

 

I'm trying to get the data between these two tags:

Tag A: <table style="border-collapse: collapse;" id="table9" bordercolorlight="#FFFFFF" border="1" width="100%">

Tag B: </table>

 

What I want is going to be in "RED".

Data Sample:

 

<b>ITEM DESCRIPTION</b></p></td>

</tr>

 

</tbody></table>

</div>

<div align="center">

 </div>

</div>

<div align="left">

<table style="border-collapse: collapse;" id="table9" bordercolorlight="#FFFFFF" border="1" width="100%">

<tbody><tr>

<td bgcolor="#ffffff" width="107">

 

<p></p></td>

</tr>

<tr>

<td bgcolor="#941410" width="107">

<p align="right"><font color="#ffffff"><b>Gender   </b></font></p></td>

<td bgcolor="#ffc3bd"> MEN</td>

</tr>

 

<tr>

<td bgcolor="#941410" width="107">

<p align="right"><font color="#ffffff"><b>Name   </b></font></p></td>

<td bgcolor="#ffc3bd"> VERSACE EAU FRAICHE by VERSACE MAN</td>

</tr>

<tr>

<td bgcolor="#941410" width="107">

 

<p align="right"><font color="#ffffff"><b>Size   </b></font></p></td>

<td bgcolor="#ffc3bd"> 3.4 oz EDT SPRAY</td>

</tr>

<tr>

<td bgcolor="#941410" width="107" height="24">

<p align="right"><font color="#ffffff"><b>Packaging   </b></font></p></td>

 

<td bgcolor="#ffc3bd" height="24"> BOX</td>

</tr>

<tr>

<td bgcolor="#941410" width="107">

<p align="right"><font color="#ffffff"><b>Condition   </b></font></p></td>

<td bgcolor="#ffc3bd"> BRAND NEW in BOX !  </td>

 

</tr>

</tbody></table>

</div>

</td>

</tr>

<tr>

<td> <p align="center">

<font style="font-size: 10pt; font-weight: 700;" color="#cc0000" face="Verdana">

 

 

Any help will be appreciated..

<?php
$sourcestring="your source string";
preg_match('~<table style="border-collapse: collapse;" id="table9" bordercolorlight="#FFFFFF" border="1" width="100%">(.*?)</table>~s',$sourcestring,$matches);
echo "<pre>".print_r($matches,true);
?>

Thank you for the help.  it works with the demo text, but does not seem to work with the server's live text, even though it's exactly the same.  I don't quite understand it.

Must not be the same then.  Consider providing the URL for testing.
