echo $m;
}

?>

[jackpf]

Idn't that what I put  ???

Lol

[redarrow]

This one wrong why please need alteration lol.

 

no results.

<?php

$url=file_get_contents("http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/results/default.stm");
$result=preg_match('/\<div class\=\"mvb\"\>(.*?)\<\/p\>/i',$url,$match);

foreach($match as $m){

echo $m;
}

?>

[jackpf]

You're currently searching for something like

 

<div class="mvb">(ANYTHING)</p>

 

Is that really what you want to search for?

[redarrow]

no see the web site in question trying to get all the football results

 

tried this.

 

no joy.

<?php

$url=file_get_contents("http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/results/default.stm");
$result=preg_match('/\<div class\=\"pvtb\"\>\<b\>Barclays Premier League\<\/b\>\<\/div\>(.*?)\<\/p\>/i',$url,$match);

foreach($match as $m){

echo $m;
}

?>

[jackpf]

I just tried this and it worked:

 

<?php
$url = '<div class="pvtb"><b>Barclays Premier League</b></div>hello</p>';
//$url=file_get_contents("http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/results/default.stm");
preg_match('/\<div class\=\"pvtb\"\>\<b\>Barclays Premier League\<\/b\>\<\/div\>(.*?)\<\/p\>/i',$url, $matches);
foreach($matches as $key => $value)
{
echo $value;
}

?>

 

So it must not be on the page.

[redarrow]

get this lol

 

<div class="pvtb"><b>Barclays Premier League</b></div>hello</p>hello

 

your funny

 

no result.

 

<?php
$url=file_get_contents("http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/results/default.stm");

preg_match('/\<div class\=\"pvtb\"\>\<b\>Barclays Premier League\<\/b\>\<\/div\>(.*?)\<\/p\>/i',$url, $matches);

foreach($matches as $key => $value)
{
   echo $value;
}

?>

I just looked at the source of that page, and your regex doesn't even exist you knob

 

Probably why it isn't displaying anything...

[thebadbad]

What's up with all the escaping? Double quotes, angle brackets and equals signs aren't special RegEx characters. And use a different delimiter than the forward slash to get rid of even more escaping! Not that it would match what the OP is actually looking for, but

 

'/\<div class\=\"pvtb\"\>\<b\>Barclays Premier League\<\/b\>\<\/div\>(.*?)\<\/p\>/i'

 

can be written as

 

'~<div class="pvtb"><b>Barclays Premier League</b></div>(.*?)</p>~i'

[jackpf]

Meh, I just escape everything to be sure. And what difference does using a ~ do, if you don't mind me asking?

[redarrow]

can anybody get the results lol

 

i can not differently.

 

[thebadbad]

Meh, I just escape everything to be sure. And what difference does using a ~ do, if you don't mind me asking?

 

Maybe I was a bit harsh, but my eyes bleed seeing all those slashes I often use a ~ as delimiter since I never use that character inside the regex pattern, and therefore never have to escape it. Much like I often single quote HTML strings, so I don't have to escape the double quotes within.

[jackpf]

Yeah, ditto with the single quotes thing. Plus, it's more efficient, and it looks prettier

 

Yeah, I didn't actually know you could use ~ as a delimiter. May look into that...

[thebadbad]

Yeah, I didn't actually know you could use ~ as a delimiter. May look into that...

 

You can use any non-alphanumeric character as delimiter. So it's more or less always possible to use something that's not used within the regex.

[jackpf]

Didn't know that either

 

Thanks for the information.
