Can someone please help me with the regex.I am trying to scrape the data.Below is the pattern of data in the source code i would like to scrape.I would like to get

 

Name,Address,City,State,Country,Pincode,Phone number and Category

 

Pattern of Data :-

 

<div align="center"><center><table border="0"
        cellpadding="3" cellspacing="0" width="350"> 
            <tr> 
                <td valign="top" width="350" bgcolor="#FFFFFF"<div align="center"><table
                border="1" cellpadding="12" cellspacing="0"
                width="100%" bgcolor="#FFFFE6"
                bordercolor="#000000" bordercolordark="#808080"
                bordercolorlight="#C0C0C0"> 
                    <tr> 
                        <td colspan="2" width="350"><font

<b>  Name   </b><br>Address <br>City, State 
<br>Country, Pincode   <BR><BR><font size="2"><img src="../images/ph.gif"

<BR>Category: Something
<BR>Something
<BR>Something

</font></td> 
                    </tr> 
                </table> 
                </td> 
            </tr> 
        </table> 

        </center></div>

 

 

I tried it myself but i am getting warning with it.

 

Code -

 

<?php

$data = file_get_contents('http://xxx.com');
$regex = '/~<tr>\s+<td\s+colspan="2"\s+width="350"><font\s+size="2">\s+<b>(.*?)</b><br>(.*?<br>(.*?), (.*?)\s+<br>(.*?), (.*?)   <BR><BR><font\s+size="2"><img\s+src="../images/ph.gif"\s+align="left"\s+hspace="4"\s+alt\s+=\s+"AL0674">\s+-\s+Phone #   (.*?) </font>~/';
preg_match($regex,$data,$match);
var_dump($match); 
echo $match[1];
?>

 

Warning message i am getting :-

Warning: preg_match() [function.preg-match]: Unknown modifier 'b' in C:\Users\Boone\AppData\Roaming\NuSphere\PhpED\projects\scrapingtest.php on line 5
