cURL data manipulation

[phpSensei]

This is regex related.

 

 

See I am using regex to send HTTP post to a PHP file on another server giving me back a certain set of information. For example I am sending the Year, Make, Model..etc of a car and getting back the price of the car, or its part.

 

Part of the HTML returned by the cURL exec is

 

<br>Estimated Parts: $237.99<br>

 

Which is in the middle of other tags like <td>, <img>..etc

 

I want to wrap a bbcode ([  b ] [ b ] ) around it.

 

so far I have

 

<?php

$output= curl_exec ($ch);
$output = preg_replace("/(\<br \/\>)(Estimated Parts\:[\S\s])(.+)(\<br \/\>)/","[b]\\3[/b]",$output);

?>

 

Thats only part of the code, but it wraps the string with the bold codes, but leaves out the PRICE

[.josh]

$string = preg_replace('~<br\s?/?>([^<]*Estimated Parts:[^<]+)<br\s?/?>~is','[b]$1[/b]',$string);

[phpSensei]

$string = preg_replace('~<br\s?/?>([^<]*Estimated Parts:[^<]+)<br\s?/?>~is','[b]$1[/b]',$string);

 

 

Much appreciated CV. Its a shame I didn't know this, I will take some time off this site and freakin learn it.
