[SOLVED] Php. how do i strip html to show all div id name's ?.

[jamesxg1]

Hiya peeps, Just wondering where i start really.

 

I want to make a page where i can input html into a textarea and print every div id value. Eg.

<div id="hello">

 

Page prints 'hello'.

 

Where do i start ?,

 

Many thanks,

 

James.

Probably looking at preg_match_all

Here's a tutorial about regular expressions

[attock]

if you dont like preg_match then you might wana try sumthing like

 

$arr = split('id="', $html);

echo substr($arr[1],0,-1);

 

using regular expressions would be the correct way of doing it.

That's assuming there's only an opening div tag in html code, and it contains id property as the last one.

[.josh]

$subject = "content to match here";
preg_match_all('~<div[^>]*id\s?=\s?["\']([^"\']+)~i',$subject,$matches);
print_r($matches[1]);

 

or as an alternative, you might want to consider using DOM
