worldveil Posted February 21, 2011 Share Posted February 21, 2011 So I'm doing a screen scrape (I have permission) and I have the html for the page. Basically I want to extract the strings from the HTML which happen to fall between two strings: "/imgres?imgurl=" and ".jpg" (inclusive). There are many of these. So far I have: function getPictures($html) { $matches = array(); $num_matches = preg_match_all("/imgres?imgurl=(.+?).jpg/", $html, $matches); foreach($matches[1] as $match) { echo $match, "<BR>"; } } I'm just having trouble with regex..could anyone help me out? It's not capturing the strings between the two specified substrings in my regex expression. Thanks for any help/pointers you guys might have Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
