[SOLVED] regex help needed, its frying my mind

[soddengecko]

hi all. i need some help if you can. I am trying to build a regex that will read cinema listings from my local cinemas website.

 

the cinema site is here - http://www.odeon.co.uk/fanatic/film_times/s3/Cardiff/index.php

 

So far I am using the regex below to get the data i need

<?php
$content = file_get_contents("http://www.odeon.co.uk/fanatic/film_times/s3/Cardiff/index.php");

$get_film_data_regex = '#<div\b[^>]*class=([\'"])?filminfos(?(1)\1)[^>]*>.*?</div>#s';
preg_match_all($get_film_data_regex,$content,$regexed_film_data);

foreach ($regexed_film_data as $film_data) {
foreach ($film_data as $data) {
print "$data\n</div>\n\n";
}
//nothing here
}
?>

 

The code above works fine, i get the data as one large chunk. My issue is that I want to be able to dissect the data into component parts for integration into my local Intranet site. (film title, certificate, film info and of course, the days and times)

 

this is a sample of the data I will be trying to get the info from (below). this sample code is for one movie. the end of the data will increase/decrease depending on how many days and at what times the film is available, but it will always have this format, starting with <div class="rightside"> and the closing div after the view trailer link. (after the view trailer div has been closed)

 

<div class="rightside"> 
<div class="filminfos"> 
<h1><a href="/fanatic/film_info/s3/Cardiff/m11900/12_Rounds/" title="Film information, ratings & guest reviews of "12 Rounds"">12 Rounds</a></h1>

can anyone point me in the direction i need to take to get this working? I have spent days on this, exhausted 100's of google search results and even downloaded an application that was supposed to help me work it out (yeah, i was grasping at straws)

 

If you need more info, or I have missed something then let me know and I will get back to you

 

TIA

add me to MSN: RussellonMSN@hotmail.com

 

I was writing you a regex the other day, but the power went out and I lost it, so I want to help you out via msn that way atleast I can explain most of it to you, or send you previews, etc. Sorry

[soddengecko]

just added you to my msn - thank you

[RussellReal]

I just got on MSN but no add request =\

[soddengecko]

I would like to say a huge thank you to RussellReal for helping me with this. He took his time to chat to me on msn and build a script that would do just what I needed.

 

Thank you
