[SOLVED] preg_match_all no results

[dose]

its been racking my brain for about a week now. im still pretty new to php but ive ask my friend the same question and he cant tell me the reason so hope someone here can figure it out..

 

Im using cURL to get the contents of another site I.E stats from a server.

 

im using

 

preg_match_all("/<div class=\"ep_stat_top_stats_row_right\">(.*?)<\/div>/", $html, $matches);

$bah = $matches['0'];

print_r($bah);

 

to try and match whats between these tags

 

<div class="ep_stat_top_stats_row_right">
                                       250
                                 </div>

 

everytime i try this i just get a blank array back if i echo the $html i do get the full page displaying everything i am trying to grab. So im not to sure what the problem could be.

if (preg_match('%<div class="ep_stat_top_stats_row_right">(.*?)</div>%si', $html, $matches)) {
$bah = $matches[1];

 

Use the S modifier (dot matches new lines)

 

EDIT: oops forgot to add a match_all example.. (same idea)

preg_match_all('%<div class="ep_stat_top_stats_row_right">(.*?)</div>%si', $html, $matches);

 

EDIT #2: And Welcome to PHP Freaks
