Preg matching this data

[sphinx]

Hello,

 

I'm looking to preg_match this:

 

Current Song: </font></td><td><font class="default"><b><a href="currentsong?sid=1">Pitbull - Rain Over Me ft. Marc Anthony</a></b></td></tr></table></font></body></html>

 

The song name changes each time it is different on radio, but only when refreshed, but i literally want to grab the song name area, which is obviously "Pitbull - Rain Over Me ft. Marc Anthony", i have tried:

 

preg_match('Song:(.*?)</html>~i',$page_contents, $matches2);

 

But nothing displays, am i grabbing data too far apart and should i try grab nearer to the song such as sid=1

 

thanks

preg_match('#sid=([0-9]+)">(.*)</a>#', $page_contents, $matches);

echo $matches[2];

The real issue with your RegExp is that you're missing a delimiter. Something you should have seen if you had error reporting on.

In addition to that your RegExp is way too greedy, as it'd match not only the name but everything between song: and </html>. Not just the song name.
