preg_match question

[elyfrank]

Hi guys,

I hope you guys are having a terrific day.

I am trying to get some data from a page using preg_match an place it in an array.

 

This is the PHP code I got so far:

 

<?php

$url = "http://www.examplepage.html";

$raw = file_get_contents($url);

preg_match("/<ul class='Codes'>(.*)<\/ul>/isU",$raw,$output);

echo $output[1];

?>

 

I am able to read all text between <ul class='Codes'></ul> which is the one I am showing below.

 

Result from PHP code above:

 

<li><script type='text/javascript'>Code.number('4.236173.USD.EN.057880560561287921.386595955', '')</script><img src='/Images/providers/logos/Logo1.gif?cdn=040309' alt='' /> <script type='text/javascript'>Code.number('4.236173.USD.EN.057880560561287921.386595955', 'Read all codes from Number1')</script></li><li><script type='text/javascript'>Code.number('4.1957403.USD.EN.057880560561287921.458090474', '')</script><img src='/Images/providers/logos/logo2.gif?cdn=040309' alt='' /> <script type='text/javascript'>Code.number('4.1957403.USD.EN.057880560561287921.458090474', 'Read all codes from Number2')</script></li><li><script type='text/javascript'>Code.number('4.4801652.USD.EN.057880560561287921.1469771421', '')</script><img src='/Images/providers/logos/Logo6.gif?cdn=040309' alt='' /> <script type='text/javascript'>Code.number('4.4801652.USD.EN.057880560561287921.1469771421', 'Read all codes from Number3')</script></li>

 

 

 

This is what I would like to do:

 

Count how many times Code.Number happens.

and then for each of then capture and place in array the code number between the ' '. (the first example will be 4.236173.USD.EN.057880560561287921.386595955) and so on.

 

Code Numer 0,1 = 4.236173.USD.EN.057880560561287921.386595955

Code number 0,2= Logo1.gif

 

Code number 1,1 = 4.1957403.USD.EN.057880560561287921.458090474

code number 1,2=Logo2.gif

 

and so on.

 

Thank you very much.

Well, you don't show the full content you are working with. It's quite possible you don't need the regex you already have - is there other content on the page with "Code.Number" that is outside the UL tags? if not, you just need one regex pattern for the page.

 

preg_match_all("#Code.number\('([^']*)#", $text, $matches);
print_r($matches[1]);

 

Output:

Array
(
    [0] => 4.236173.USD.EN.057880560561287921.386595955
    [1] => 4.236173.USD.EN.057880560561287921.386595955
    [2] => 4.1957403.USD.EN.057880560561287921.458090474
    [3] => 4.1957403.USD.EN.057880560561287921.458090474
    [4] => 4.4801652.USD.EN.057880560561287921.1469771421
    [5] => 4.4801652.USD.EN.057880560561287921.1469771421
)

Thank you Psycho, it worked great.

Psycho,

I am sorry to bother you.

How can I extract this text using preg_match_all? Where Read all reviews from  is the beguining and ') is the end?  'Read all reviews from text-to-extract')

I having trouble with the delimiters.

 

This is what I got so far: preg_match_all("#Read all reviews from \('([^']')*)#", $text, $matches);

 

but is not working.

 

Thank you very much.
