looking for a div query regex...

[wilbur_wc]

i'm trying to parse an html page and retrieve one div (or better yet one specific item from within the div).

 

here's the div that i'm looking for...

 

<div class="content-item ">
<div class="type">XXX</div>
<div class="title"><a href="xxxxxxx">THIS IS MY SEARCH FLAG</a></div>
<i></i>
<div class="tags"></div>
<a title="View the PDF version of this article" href="this-is-the-url-i-want-to-pull.pdf" class="pdf-link"><img alt="PDF" src="xxxxx" class="xxxx">PDF</a>
<a title="xxxx" href="xxx" class="xx"><img alt="xxxx" src="xxxxx" class="xxxxx">XXXXX</a>
</div>

 

you can see that my query constant (the only thing i can constantly depend on existing in the same format) is a string represented in the html as 'THIS IS MY SEARCH FLAG'

and the item i ultimately want to return is a url represented by 'this-is-the-url-i-want-to-pull.pdf'

 

i'm new to php and regex is always something of trial and error for me anyhow...  any help would be greatly appreciated.

 

thanks

and and one note...

 

the number of divs/tags within the main div is not constant.

Here is a HTML DOM class that makes finding specific data on a page easy - http://sourceforge.net/projects/simplehtmldom/

thanks PFMaBiSmAd...  that does the job, and then some...  great class and i'm already up and running with it.

 

however, i'm still curious if there's a regex solution.

 

thanks
