lordshoa Posted May 26, 2009 Share Posted May 26, 2009 I have a scraper I am trying to get code form another site and just get the text from the code. But I seem to have run in to a problem I cannot figure out. The code has random name and a unix time stamp which changes in a div tag and in a li tag so when I ereg_replace I use (.*) but it seems to take to much and not stop or nothing at all. Is there a better way of making the variable code replace able ? random_name unix_time_stamp thanks little sample <li class="class1 status u_RANDOM_NAME" id="status_UNIX_TIME_STAMP"> $htlm[1] = ereg_replace('<li class="class1 status u-.*." id="status_.*." >','',$html[1]); Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/159703-solved-ereg_replace-help/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
