Is my regex wrong ? Please hint only

[Nuv]

When i used the form i get the output however if i directly use this regex to the scraped data it won't work. I would request gurus not to solve it and give the answer completely as i am fed up at being bad at it and that won't help me.I would request them to hint me to the right direction.Is my regex wrong ?

 

<?php
$data = '<td class="cellborder" style="padding-left:5px; padding-right:3px;" width="40%"> 
<div id="opp_76766264"> 
<a target="_blank" href="/preisvergleich/Relocate/76766264.html?productid=531629&type=offer&sid=9441&price=81.94&categoryId=2925&pos=1&search=5995363702720" rel="nofollow" onmousedown="nlo(this.href)" style="text-decoration:none;" class="b"> 
81,94 €
</a> 
[b][i]SOME HTML HERE[/i][/b]
<span class="nobr"> 
<img src="/pics/rating/orange.gif" width="10" height="10" alt="Besucher-Shopbewertung für shoppingfever.de: Note 1,0" border="0" /><img src="/pics/rating/orange.gif" width="10" height="10" alt="" border="0" /><img src="/pics/rating/orange.gif" width="10" height="10" alt="" border="0" /><img src="/pics/rating/orange.gif" width="10" height="10" alt="" border="0" /><img src="/pics/rating/orange.gif" width="10" height="10" alt="" border="0" /> 
</span>';

$regex = '~\<div\sid="opp_.*href="(.*?)"\srel.*\<span\sclass="nobr"\>(.*?)\</span\>~s';
preg_match($regex, $data, $out);
?>

can't say for certain...would help if you could post link to page you're actually trying to scrape.  Perhaps the content is dynamically generated by js or perhaps it is within an iframe not actually on the page you're scraping.  But one guess is perhaps your greedy quantifiers are killing it.

Thankyou. I made them lazy and it worked. My mind goes when it comes to recursive functions,classes and regex.
