explode, strpos, or regex?

[phoenixx]

Just wondering if anyone knows which method I should use for the following issue:

 

I'm scraping a page (in this case a craigslist ad) and trying to get the content between these two tags:

<div id="userbody">

and

<!-- START CLTAGS -->

.

 

I'm using a regex that isn't returning anything, but would it be cleaner just to explode or strpos the string?

 

Here's the code I'm using:

$data = @file_get_contents('http://houston.craigslist.org/fud/1704346680.html');
preg_match('/class="userbody">([^"]*)<!-- START CLTAGS -->/is',$data,$resultscontent);
echo $resultscontent[1];

 

Thanks in advance for your help.

The regex isn't working because you are using class=" instead of id=" since it's the div id you are trying to match

A typo - the data is id="userbody" but even changing that doesn't work.

$data = file_get_contents('http://houston.craigslist.org/fud/1704346680.html');
preg_match('/id="userbody">(.*?)<!-- START CLTAGS -->/is',$data,$resultscontent);
echo $resultscontent[1];
