Preg_match help

rascle · July 4, 2011

Hi,

Basically I am taking some data from a website, and am storing it in a file called dump.text, I am then using preg_match to find a line in the file, that I need to get some variable information from. I have managed to get the file working but cant seem to get the preg_match bit working:

preg_match('/<td><a href="/business/currencies/quote?srcAmt=1&srcCurr=GBP&destAmt=&destCurr=EUR">GBP/EUR<\/a><\/td>\s+

<td\s+class="data changeUp"> \s+

<img\s+width="9"\s+height="10"\s+src="/resources_v2/images/changeUp.gif"\s+\/>(.*?)<\/td>/si', $eurovalue, $euroarray);

does anyone know what is wrong with it, all I want it to do is to find that line and then below that I echo it, however it doesnt display anything (I would expect it to display the line above). I have checked my dump.text file and the it is working from that end. I have added in things such as /'s, \'s and +si, I dont really know what they are for but have used them in previous codes.

Can anyone tell me what I am doing wrong (before you ask I have looked at the php documentation for this but couldnt really see any answer)

Thanks

RegEx isn't meant to parse HTML.

If you post the data and what you want I can build you a RegEx that will work for that particular dataset. Whether it works on the next instance you scrape the page, I can't promise.

I use the same method to get information from a different website (with HTML) that works fine (see http://www.phpfreaks.com/forums/index.php?topic=328096.msg1544543#msg1544543, topic was solved by MrXHellboy), so I am pretty sure it is possible to do it, I just have something wrong with my code.

Thanks

You're not understanding what I'm saying. If you want to parse the content, google PHP DOM Parser.

If you'd like me to show you a more simplified RegEx that may work for the content you provide, please show me what you're trying to extract, and what you're trying to extract it from, in full.

Basically the code below is what I need to get the information from:

<html>
<head>

</head>
<body>

</div>

<input name="CurrenciesConversion:HistoricalDate"  type="hidden" id="CurrenciesConversion_HistoricalDate"/>
<div id="converterFooter">

I then want preg_match to find:

  <td><a href="/business/currencies/quote?srcAmt=1&srcCurr=USD&destAmt=&destCurr=EUR">USD/EUR</a></td>
	<td class="data changeUp">
		<img width="9" height="10" src="/resources_v2/images/changeUp.gif" />0.69070</td>

Where 0.69070 is subject to change.

Once this has happened I want it to save it to a variable called $eurovalue

and then I will strip the tags and isolate the value (I can do this my self thanks)

Its just the regex for the preg_match I need help with.

I hope this is the info you needed.

Thanks

Rhys

AbraCadaver · July 5, 2011

I'm not going to pick through all of that, but you're using / as the delimiter and haven't escaped all of them in the pattern. Try using another delimiter so you don't have to escape anything. You can also try this out: http://www.myregextester.com/index.php

AyKay47 · July 5, 2011

<?php

$pattern = '/<td\s*\w*>\s*<img\s*[\w\d]*\s*\/>(\d+)<\/td>/si'
preg_match($pattern,$subject,$matches)
$eurovalue = $matches[0];

?>

rascle · July 5, 2011

AyKay47 - ???

rascle · July 5, 2011

Basically the post with the long code isnt relevant, it is where the:

<td><a href="/business/currencies/quote?srcAmt=1&srcCurr=USD&destAmt=&destCurr=EUR">USD/EUR</a></td>
	<td class="data changeUp">
		<img width="9" height="10" src="/resources_v2/images/changeUp.gif" />0.69070</td>

lies, basically I just want the code above to be found so need to create a regex to find the above code, in the long code, if that makes sense.

Thanks

Rhys

AyKay47 · July 5, 2011

the regex above should find the 0.69070 in your code...and store it in $matches[0], then set it to the $eurovalue

rascle · July 5, 2011

Thanks, but I've tried it and nothing is happening still.

Unfortunately I dont know much about Regex and so cant see what you have done, but there are multiple <td></td> lines, does the provided code identify the one I want?

<td><a href="/business/currencies/quote?srcAmt=1&srcCurr=USD&destAmt=&destCurr=EUR">USD/EUR</a></td>
	<td class="data changeUp">
		<img width="9" height="10" src="/resources_v2/images/changeUp.gif" />0.69070</td>

As there are similar bits of code, for example USD/GBP

Thanks

Rhys

AyKay47 · July 5, 2011

I see,

<?php

$pattern = '/<td><a.*>USD\/EUR<\/a><\/td>.*<td\s*\w*>\s*<img\s*[\w\d]*\s*\/>(\d+)<\/td>/si'
preg_match($pattern,$subject,$matches)
$eurovalue = $matches[0];

?>

rascle · July 5, 2011

Thanks again, however I still cant get it to display anything, here is the code I am using:

<?php
$eurovalue = file_get_contents("dump.txt");
$eurovalue = htmlspecialchars($eurovalue);
$pattern = '/<td><a.*>USD\/EUR<\/a><\/td>.*<td\s*\w*>\s*<img\s*[\w\d]*\s*\/>(\d+)<\/td>/si';
preg_match($pattern,$eurovalue,$euroarray);
$euroresult = $euroarray[0];
echo $euroresult;

?>

I dont know if there is any silly mistakes in there, dump.text is where the HTML is being loaded (and that is working fine). I use htmlspecialchars, as otherwise the output would be in HTML. I hope this doesnt affect the preg_match

Thanks Again

Rhys

wildteen88 · July 5, 2011

I hope this doesnt affect the preg_match

Yes, that will affect preg_match.

xyph · July 5, 2011

You're much better off using a DOM parser, but here

<?php 

$expr = '%USD/EUR</a></td>\s++
<td\ class="data\ changeUp">\s++
<img\ width="9"\ height="10"\ src="/resources_v2/images/changeUp\.gif"\ />
([0-9.]++)
</td>%x';

$str = getHTML();

preg_match( $expr, $str, $match );

print_r( $match );

function getHTML() {

return <<<HEREDOC

Your poor RegEx engine though. That's a HUGE string to be parsing. I hope this is something you only execute once a day or so

AyKay47 · July 5, 2011

You're much better off using a DOM parser, but here

<?php 

$expr = '%USD/EUR</a></td>\s++
<td\ class="data\ changeUp">\s++
<img\ width="9"\ height="10"\ src="/resources_v2/images/changeUp\.gif"\ />
([0-9.]++)
</td>%x';

$str = getHTML();

preg_match( $expr, $str, $match );

print_r( $match );

Your poor RegEx engine though. That's a HUGE string to be parsing. I hope this is something you only execute once a day or so

that will work as long as nothing in the pattern is subject to change

Thanks, sorry to be an idiot but how could I do that by getting the info from dump.text though?

Thanks

Whats wrong with just using preg_match? As there is a lot less code?

xyph · July 5, 2011

You're not an idiot, you're just coding well beyond your current knowledge/skill set.

I'm not going to give you the complete, working solution as that would be coding for you - something I do professionally to some extent. Giving out my services for free would be kind of counter productive.

A combination of your code and mine, copied and pasted, should work fine.

rascle · July 5, 2011

Ok Thanks

BTW on the DOM Parser, there is an error "Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '=' in /home/b25rasc/public_html/test9.php on line 2"

rascle · July 7, 2011

Sorry, that was the character encoding
