Regex for Amazon

Recommended Posts

Hi,

 

I have a script that is scraping merchant names from Amazon market place, for example:

 

http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/offer-listing/B002PLB2F4/?condition=new

 

The following code works where the seller has a logo:

 

preg_match_all('/<ul class="sellerInformation">([\s]+)(.*?)<img src="(.*?)" width="(.*?)" alt="(.*?)" height="(.*?)" border="(.*?)" \/><\/a>/', $html, $merchants);

 

and this works where merchants don't have a logo:

 

preg_match_all('/<ul class="sellerInformation">([\s]+)<li><div class="seller"><span class="sellerHeader">Seller:<\/span>([\s]+)<a href="(.*?)"><b>(.*?)<\/b><\/a>/', $html, $merchants2);

 

How can I combine these regular expressions so that I just get one array of merchant names? Many thanks for your advice...

$html = file_get_contents($url);
preg_match_all('~<ul class="sellerInformation">.*?(alt="|<b>)([^"<]+)("|<)~is', $html, $matchesarray);
print_r($matchesarray[2]);
?>
