netpumber Posted October 5, 2011 Share Posted October 5, 2011 Hello.. Lets say we have this source code returned through cURL into a string called $result . <font face="Arial" size=2> <p>Member Name</font> <font face="Arial" size=2>no2</font> <p> <font face="Arial" size=2>My name is 'Kate' and im fine.</font> <p> <font face="Arial" size=2>/member.php</font><font face="Arial" size=2> today</font> i wont to find and print the string 'Kate'. So i wrote this script $pattern = "/My name is '(.*)' and im fine/i"; preg_match($pattern , $result, $matches); print_r($matches); but the array matches is still empty and this is what it prints : Array ( ) Whats going wrong ? How can i fix it ? Thanks for your time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Psycho Posted October 5, 2011 Share Posted October 5, 2011 Work's fine for me when I copied that text into a variable called $result. However, that expression could be simplified to $pattern = "/My name is '([^']*)'/i"; Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Psycho Posted October 5, 2011 Share Posted October 5, 2011 $result = <<<EOD <font face="Arial" size=2> <p>Member Name</font> <font face="Arial" size=2>no2</font> <p> <font face="Arial" size=2>My name is 'Kate' and im fine.</font> <p> <font face="Arial" size=2>/member.php</font><font face="Arial" size=2> today</font> EOD; $pattern = "/My name is '([^']*)'/i"; preg_match($pattern , $result, $matches); print_r($matches); Output: Array ( [0] => My name is 'Kate' [1] => Kate ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
netpumber Posted October 5, 2011 Author Share Posted October 5, 2011 yes... you are right.. but i forgot to say that in the cURL setup i use and proxy (tor) and if i have these lines uncomment doesn't work. curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_HTTPPROXYTUNNEL, 1); curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_PROXYTYPE, CURLPROXY_SOCKS5); curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_PROXY, '127.0.0.1:9050'); and when i comment them all works fine.. Who knows..? :-\ edit: i restart tor service and now all works.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xyph Posted October 5, 2011 Share Posted October 5, 2011 Masking your cURL requests? Seems legit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
