Help with preg_match() function

[jjmusicpro]

I have this in the html:

 

<div class="c"><strong>Joes Cool Name</strong></div>

 

I am trying to use preg_match to just get "Joes Cool Name" out of it, but keep getting blank values...

Here is what I have..thanks for any help guys... im new to preg_match function

 

preg_match('/<div class=\"c\">([^\<]*)<\/div>/i', $result, $name);

[sasa]

try

preg_match('/<div class=\"c\">(.*?)<\/div>/i', $result, $name);

That also gets the <strong></strong>, and i dont want that

[jjmusicpro]

To get rid of the <strong></strong> i just did a str_replace... but i assume there is better way to do this?

Just modify sasa's regex a bit...

 

preg_match('/<div class=\"c\"><strong>(.*?)<\/strong><\/div>/i', $result, $name);

Ok cool, here is one i tried doing myself, but having same problems.

 

HTML -

<div class="mfsm">Email:</div></td><td valign="top"><div class="mfsm"><a href="mailto:Array">myemail@gmail.com</a></div>

 

Here is what i have, but its blank..

preg_match('|mail([^\<]*)<\/div><\/td><td valign=\"top\"><div class=\"mfsm\">([^\<]*)<|', $result, $email);

[jjmusicpro]

Is my ([^\<]*) is whats messing it up?

[jjmusicpro]

?

[jjmusicpro]

anyone ?

[sasa]

preg_match('|href="mailto:([^"]*)"|', $result, $email);

When i try that above i get a wrong kick out.

 

preg_match('|href="mailto:([^"]*)"|', $result, $email);

echo $email[0]. " " .$email[1]. " " . $email[2];

 

Kick out below

.href="mailto:Array" Array .href="mailto:Array" Array

[sasa]

and what you want to mach

[jjmusicpro]

So if i have <div class="mfsm">Email:</div></td><td valign="top"><div class="mfsm"><a href="mailto:Array">myemail@gmail.com</a></div>

 

I want it to give me anything within the <div class="mfsm"></div>

 

Now sometimes there might be an image in there like <div class="mfsm"><img src="/something/joe.jpg"></div> so i want that full thing "<img src="/something/joe.jpg">" thats what my reg exp tried to do before.

[jjmusicpro]

keep in mind there are multiple <div class="mfsm"></div> on the page...thats why i couldnt look through it directlyl.
