Need help with calling this Array() correctly..

[CraftHell]

What im trying to do is grab a list of items from http://ffxiv.yg.com/items?f=c=6.2.7 and display it for me in a blank layout like

 

/item/antelope-sinew-cord?id=10007501 - antelope-sinew-cord - 10007501
/item/carbon-fiber?id=10009304 - carbon-fiber - 10009304
etc etc..

 

But the code i came up with grabs the data great.. (TOOK ME FOREVER TO FIGURE OUT THE PATTERN  ) but i finally managed to get it lol.. anyways the following code is

 

<?php
$page_contents = file_get_contents("http://ffxiv.yg.com/items?f=c=6.2.7");
$pattern = '/\/item\/([a-z,-]+[^gil])\?id\=([0-9,]+)/';
$matches = array();
preg_match_all($pattern, $page_contents, $matches);
foreach($matches as $item) {
echo $item[0] . " - " . $item[1] . " - " . $item[2] . "<BR>";
}
?>

 

It works but not the way im looking.. it gives me data like so

 

/item/antelope-sinew?id=10007504 - /item/antelope-sinew-cord?id=10007501 - /item/carbon-fiber?id=10009304
antelope-sinew - antelope-sinew-cord - carbon-fiber
10007504 - 10007501 - 10009304

 

Thanks for whomever to take a look, and thanks for your responses

Give this a go..

 

<?php
$page_contents = file_get_contents("http://ffxiv.yg.com/items?f=c=6.2.7");
$pattern = '/\/item\/([a-z,-]+[^gil])\?id\=([0-9,]+)/';
preg_match_all($pattern, $page_contents, $matches);

$arrRetList = array();
if(!empty($matches)){
foreach($matches as $item) {
	foreach($item as $pos => $row){
		$arrRetList[$pos][] = $row;	
	}
	//echo $item[0] . " - " . $item[1] . " - " . $item[2] . "<BR>";
}

foreach($arrRetList as $row){
	echo implode( " - ", $row ) . "<br />";	
}
}
?>

 

Couldn't spend much time on it but I believe it does what you need it to.

Thank you so much it works just like i wanted. Now say i wanted to turn that line of code into a function and call it apon multiple websites something like

 

<?php
grabdata("http://ffxiv.yg.com/items?f=c=6.2.7");
grabdata("http://ffxiv.yg.com/items?f=c=7");
grabdata("http://ffxiv.yg.com/items?f=c=5");
grabdata("http://ffxiv.yg.com/items?f=c=etcetc");

function grabdata($site){
$page_contents = file_get_contents($site);
$pattern = '/\/item\/([a-z,-]+[^gil])\?id\=([0-9,]+)/';
preg_match_all($pattern, $page_contents, $matches);

$arrRetList = array();
if(!empty($matches)){
foreach($matches as $item) {
	foreach($item as $pos => $row){
		$arrRetList[$pos][] = $row;	
	}
	//echo $item[0] . " - " . $item[1] . " - " . $item[2] . "<BR>";
}

foreach($arrRetList as $row){
	echo implode( " - ", $row ) . "<br />";	
}
}
}
?>

 

also if i wanted to make

I changed

 

foreach($arrRetList as $row){
echo implode( " - ", $row ) . "<br />";	
}

 

to

 

foreach($arrRetList as $row){
echo $row[1] . " - " . $row[2] . "<BR>";
}

 

still cant figure out the functions problem :/

 

[CraftHell]

lol im sorry for these multiple post its not letting me edit any of mine.. but i got it all to work lol just took some tweaking.. heres the code

 

<?php

function grabdata($site){
$page_contents = file_get_contents($site);
$pattern = '/\/item\/([a-z,-]+[^gil])\?id\=([0-9,]+)/';
preg_match_all($pattern, $page_contents, $matches);

$arrRetList = array();
if(!empty($matches)){
foreach($matches as $item) {
	foreach($item as $pos => $row){
		$arrRetList[$pos][] = $row;	
	}
	//echo $item[0] . " - " . $item[1] . " - " . $item[2] . "<BR>";
}

foreach($arrRetList as $row){
	//echo implode( " - ", $row ) . "<br />";	
                echo $row[1] . " - " . $row[2] . "<BR>";
}
}
}

grabdata("http://ffxiv.yg.com/items?f=c=6.2.7");
grabdata("http://ffxiv.yg.com/items?f=c=6.2");
grabdata("http://ffxiv.yg.com/items?f=c=ETC..");
grabdata("http://ffxiv.yg.com/items?f=c=ETC..");
grabdata("http://ffxiv.yg.com/items?f=c=ETC..");
grabdata("http://ffxiv.yg.com/items?f=c=ETC..");
grabdata("http://ffxiv.yg.com/items?f=c=ETC..");
