multiple preg_match

[sphinx]

Hello,

 

I'm looking to preg_match multiple statistics from a page. The first one works perfectly, but I need to grab and display three different types of data and display on one page. Can this be done?

 

Thanks

 

<?php
$page_contents = file_get_contents("http://www.site.com");
$matches = array();
preg_match('/([0-9]+) day, ([0-9]+) hours, ([0-9]+) min, ([0-9]+) sec/', $page_contents, $matches);
echo $matches[0];
?>

Can you not do a seperate preg_match for each statistic? (Recommending preg_match_all) and then if need be just use array merge?

Depending on how you want the final array, array_merge might not even be necessary - just pass in the right PREG_*_ORDER flag.
