[SOLVED] how to use eregi ?

[soryn4u]

i have a problem

 

for example i want to use eregi to retrive data

 

i want to retrive data from an website

the code from the page looks like this

 

<li id="cote">23:55</li>
<li id="cote">1.40</li>
<li id="cote">
4.00
</li>
<li id="cote">
1.04    
</li>
<li id="cote">
2.49    
</li>
<li id="cote">
1.15    
</li>

 

if i use

 

if (eregi('<li id="cote">(.*)</li>', $line, $out)) {
      $categ = each ($out);
                 echo $categ[1]."\n";
}

 

the result is

<li id="cote">23:55</li>

<li id="cote">1.40</li>

 

i retrive only a part of the code becouse are whitespaces or new lines between

 

<li id="cote">(.*)</li>

 

how to use eregi... to retrive all the data ?

becouse works only this part

 

<li id="cote">23:55</li>

<li id="cote">1.40</li>

 

and i lose this part

 

<li id="cote">

4.00

</li>

<li id="cote">

1.04   

</li>

<li id="cote">

2.49   

</li>

<li id="cote">

1.15   

</li>

$line is probably one line of the file. You can't use that here as some parts are on new lines. You can use eregi() to retrieve all the data from the file without having to use file().

 

$contents = file_get_contents('path/to/file');
$matches = array();
preg_match('/\d{1,2}(:|.)\d{1,2}/', $contents, $matches);
print_r($matches);

if i use youre code

 

<?php 

$contents ='
<li id="cote">23:55</li>
<li id="cote">1.40</li>
<li id="cote">
4.00
</li>
<li id="cote">
1.04    
</li>
<li id="cote">
2.49    
</li>
<li id="cote">
1.15    
</li>
';
$matches = array();
preg_match('/\d{1,2}(:|.)\d{1,2}/', $contents, $matches);
print_r($matches);

//the result is
?>

 

Array ( [0] => 23:55 [1] => : ) 

 

and i lose:

1.40

4.00

1.04   

2.49   

1.15

$matches = array();
$contents = file_get_contents('path/to/file');
preg_match_all('/\d{1,2}(:|\.)\d{1,2}/', $contents, $matches);
print_r($matches);

 

Sorry wrong function

Thaks

it`s working

 

 

i want you to ask...if i want to retrieve some complex data

like strings and numbers in same time

its possible to do this thing?

 

for example

 

<?php

$contents ='
<li id="cote">8655</li>
<li id="echipe">
Flamengo : Cruzeiro  
</li>
<li id="cote">23:55</li>
<li id="cote">
2.00 
</li>
<li id="cote">
3.25 
</li>
<li id="cote">
3.25    
</li>
<li id="cote">
1.24    
</li>
<li id="cote">
1.63    
</li>
<li id="cote">
1.24    
</li>
';
?>

 

and result to be:

 

8655

Flamengo : Cruzeiro

23:55

2.00

3.25

3.25   

1.24   

1.63   

1.24 

[ignace]

$matches = array();
$contents = file_get_contents('path/to/file');
preg_match_all('/\d{1,2}(:|\.)\d{1,2}/', $contents, $matches);
print_r($matches);

 

Sorry wrong function

 

$matches = array();
$contents = file_get_contents('path/to/file');
preg_match_all('/([a-z0-9]+(:|\.)[a-z0-9]+)/i', $contents, $matches);
print_r($matches);

 

May work but will not match 8655 and Flamengo : Cruzeiro if they contain a space before and after :.

[soryn4u]

thanks man for your time

 

i add 2 extra code and now matches and 8655 and Flamengo : Cruzeiro

 

amazing

 

<?php

$matches = array();
preg_match_all('/([a-z0-9]+(:|\.| : |[0-9])[a-z0-9]+)/i', $contents, $matches);
print_r($matches);
?>

If I understand correctly, would something like this work for you?

 

$html = <<<EOF
<li id="cote">8655</li>
<li id="echipe">
Flamengo : Cruzeiro
</li>
<li id="cote">23:55</li>
<li id="cote">
2.00
</li>
<li id="cote">
3.25
</li>
<li id="cote">
3.25
</li>
<li id="cote">
1.24
</li>
<li id="cote">
1.63
</li>
<li id="cote">
1.24
</li>
EOF;

preg_match_all('#<li[^>]*>([^<]+)</li>#', $html, $matches);
unset($matches[0]);
$matches[1] = array_map('trim', $matches[1]);
echo '<pre>'.print_r($matches[1], true);

Actually, to close a topic, you flag it solved.  Oh, and just for future reference, I wouldn't use ereg anymore.. as of the current stable PHP release (5.3), it is already depreciated... you should learn pcre instead, as posix (which ereg come from) will no longer be included within the core of PHP as of version 6.

thanks for your solution...and for advices nrg_alpha
