PHP find text from another page between tags

[Jnerocorp]

Hello,

 

I would like to use PHP to capture any text between tags so what I want to do is

 

Get the text between:

 

<tbody>
<tr class="">
<td width="153">
<img alt="live_" src="/global/support/PublishingImages/global/live_.png"></td>
<td class="last"><p>Service is up and running.</p></td>
</tr>

<tr><td width="153"><img alt="marketplace_" src="/global/support/PublishingImages/global/marketplace_.png"></td>

<td class="last"><p>Service is up and running.</p></td>

</tr><tr><td width="153"><img alt="account_" src="/global/support/PublishingImages/global/account_.png"></td>

<td class="last"><p>Service is up and running.</p></td>

</tr><tr><td width="153"><img alt="matchmaking_" src="/global/support/PublishingImages/global/matchmaking_.png"></td>

<td class="last"><p>Service is up and running.</p></td>

</tr>
</tbody>

 

so what I want is everything between

 

"<td class="last"><p>" and "</p></td>"

 

as you can see it shows up so i dont know if its possible to get them as a variable like this:

 

$match[0]

$match[1]

$match[2]

$match[3]

 

it is from another url from another site so it would have to read it from another url and retrieve the conents does anyone know if this is possible?

untested but this should work

$html = "HTML CODE HERE";
preg_match_all('%<td class="last"><p>(.*?)</p></td>%', $html, $match, PREG_PATTERN_ORDER);
$match = $match[1];
foreach($match as $matches){
echo $matches;
}

didnt work

 

i tried it like this:

 

<?php

$html = "WEBSITE URL HERE";
preg_match_all('%<td class="last"><p>(.*?)</p></td>%', $html, $match, PREG_PATTERN_ORDER);
$match = $match[1];
foreach($match as $matches){
echo $matches;
}

?>

 

and it does nothing

$file=file_get_contents("./test.txt");
preg_match('~\<td class="last"><p>(.+?)</p></td>~i',$file,$matches);
$found=trim($matches[1]);

echo "$found<P>";
echo "<pre>";
print_r($matches);

@teamatomic

 

I tried your code:

 

<?php

$file=file_get_contents("http://support.xbox.com/support/en/us/nxe/xboxstatus.aspx");
preg_match('~\<td class="last"><p>(.+?)</p></td>~i',$file,$matches);
$found=trim($matches[1]);

echo "$found<P>";
echo "<pre>";
print_r($matches);

?>

 

and its returning this:

 

Array
(
)

 

Code is not working

[MadTechie]

Well the url your using doesn't have

<td class="last"><p>

in it so, you could say it is working..

try this

 

$html = file_get_contents("http://support.xbox.com/support/en/us/nxe/xboxstatus.aspx");
preg_match_all('%</td><td><p>(.*?)</p></td></tr><tr>%', $html, $match, PREG_PATTERN_ORDER);
$match = $match[1];
foreach($match as $matches){
  echo "$matches<BR />\n";
}

well now its grabbing 3 of them but not all 4 and I cant control each one I need to be able to do it like this:

 

echo "Xbox Live: ". $match[0] ."";

echo "Xbox Live Marketplace: ". $match[1] ."";

echo "Xbox Live Billing: ". $match[2] ."";

echo "Xbox Live Match Making: ". $match[3] ."";

 

sorry to be such a hassle but im still trying to understand this stuff

[MadTechie]

No worries

remove the last <tr>

so change

preg_match_all('%</td><td><p>(.*?)</p></td></tr><tr>%', $html, $match, PREG_PATTERN_ORDER);

to

preg_match_all('%</td><td><p>(.*?)</p></td></tr>%', $html, $match, PREG_PATTERN_ORDER);

 

Translation

Find </td><td><p> then

(.*?) capture everything until

</p></td></tr>
