strpos

[JamesThePanda]

Hi

Im having a problem finding the posistion of a div tag I tried this piece of code

 

$fpos= strpos($snip, "<div id=\"footer\">")

 

Then this piece

 

$fpos= strpos($snip, "<div id="footer">")

 

The $snip is the entire html document

 

I thought maybe the \ might be causeing problem but without it

 

Then i tried this

 

any suggestions guys

 

Thanks

Are you 100% for sure that "$snip" has the correct values in it?

 

Try echoing $snip to the screen and see what you get.

 

Also try a find of just "$fpos= strpos($snip, "<div id="); and see what you get.

 

Finally can you echo $fpos to the screen AFTER  you do the search and see what it actually says?  Echo to the screen is one of the best way to debug something.

snip echo out fine

 

in regards to finding just "<div id=" there several div tages in the code would it end up giving the position off all of them.

 

thanks

Can you post your code?  There has to be something else going on.

Hi Cunoodle

 

For some reason its starte working now I been playing wit it for a hour or so. I think the problem was i was getting the data from a file and looking for several tags all at once.

I just split them up a bit and thats seems to work

 

Thanks SO much for you help
