Try

preg_match_all('#VI.data.aurora.idx = ({.*[^}]+}})#is', $data, $matches);

/* This function was found at http://uk1.php.net/json_decode#95782 */
function json_decode_nice($json, $assoc = FALSE){
    $json = str_replace(array("\n","\r"),"",$json);
    $json = str_replace("'", "\"", $json); // <--- I added
    $json = preg_replace('/([{,])(\s*)([^"]+?)\s*:/','$1"$3":',$json);
    return json_decode($json,$assoc);
}

// covert the javascript json into PHP json and return an associative array
$auroraData = json_decode_nice($matches[1][0], true);

printf('<pre>%s</pre>', print_r($auroraData, true));

You really make it look so simple

I really am trying to get my head into this but it will take me long time.

Do you think the next one is possible?

lol, How much data are you ripping? 

 

The code here is almost the same as the quakeInfo code, the only thing that has changed is the regex. I am also using the json_decode_nice function I posted earlier to decode the json easier.

preg_match_all('~VI.imgConf\[\d+\] = ({[^}]+});~', $data, $matches);

$imgConf = array();
foreach ($matches[1] as $conf)
{
    // convert the date into a timestamp
    $conf = preg_replace_callback('~new Date\(([^)]+)\)~', function($dateParams) {
                                                                    // get the date parameters
                                                                    list($year, $month, $day, $hour, $min) = explode(',', $dateParams[1]);

                                                                    // remove the javascript math operation for the month
                                                                    $month = substr($month, 0, strpos($month, '-'));

                                                                    // create the timestamp
                                                                    return mktime($hour, $min, 0, $month, $day, $year);
                                                            }, $conf);

    // covert the javascript json into PHP json and return an associative array
    $imgConf[] = json_decode_nice($conf, true);
}

printf('<pre>%s</pre>', print_r($imgConf, true));

lol I think I have almost enough for few days now   maybe one last question for now and hopefully if I have more problems I can bother you more 

VI.data.aurora.text = {
	 txt: 'Cloudy in the north. Fair in the south but gradually becoming  overcast, mainly at the south coast. Likely the best places to see the sky in the southwest is the upcountry in west and then the upcountry in the south.',
	 night: new Date(2014,1-1,8,0,0), 
	 valid_from: new Date(2014,1-1,8,20,0),
	 valid_until: new Date(2014,1-1,9,4,0)
	};

btw, thank you for the link to the json_decode_nice function 

[Ch0cu3r]

Use the same code from my last post but change  imgConf\[\d+\]  to data.aurora.text   in the regex

Edited January 8, 2014 by Ch0cu3r

Been playing and have come up with a function that will scrape all VI.* variables from the page and convert them into associative array

function json_decode_nice($json, $assoc = FALSE)
{
    $json = str_replace(array("\n","\r"),"",$json);

    $json = str_replace("'", "\"", $json);
    // convert the date into a timestamp
    $json = preg_replace_callback('~new Date\(([^)]+)\)~', function($dateParams) {
                                                                // get the date parameters
                                                                $tmp = explode(',', $dateParams[1]);

                                                                if(count($tmp) < 6)
                                                                    $tmp[5] = 0;

                                                                list($year, $month, $sec, $day, $hour, $min) = $tmp;

                                                                // remove the javascript math operation for the month
                                                                $month = substr($month, 0, strpos($month, '-'));

                                                                // create the timestamp
                                                                return mktime($hour, $min, $sec, $month, $day, $year);
                                                            }, $json);

    $json = preg_replace('/([{,])(\s*)([^"]+?)\s*:/','$1"$3":',$json);
    return json_decode($json,$assoc);
}

function find_VI_json($data)
{
    $VI_data = array();

    // find all VI.* variables that have JSON
    preg_match_all("~VI.([^\s]+) = (\[?{[^;]+}\]?)~is", $data, $matches);

    foreach ($matches[2] as $key => $json)
    {
        // decode JSON to array
        $jsonArray = json_decode_nice($json, true);

        // if an array was returned then JSON was decoded.
        if(is_array($jsonArray))
        {
            // get the javascript variable name which this JSON belongs to
            $jsVar = $matches[1][$key];

            // is this variable an array?
            if(strpos($jsVar, '[') !== false)
            {
                // get the array name
                $jsVar = substr($jsVar, 0, strpos($jsVar, '['));

                // append jsonArray to variable array 
                $VI_data[$jsVar][] = $jsonArray;
            }
            else
                $VI_data[$jsVar] = $jsonArray;
        }
    }

    return $VI_data;
}

To convert all JSON variables to an array just call

$VI = find_VI_json($data);

 When you want to get a javascript variable you'd use its name, eg $VI['data.aurora.idx] to get the VI.data.aurora.idx json array

Edited January 8, 2014 by Ch0cu3r

[iscode]

Really awesome work you done here 

but it wont take the data.aurora.idx into the array but everything else even on the quakeInfo page.

 

I think I do the setup correct though:

 

$data = file_get_contents('...

 

$VI = find_VI_json($data);

 

printf('<pre>%s</pre>', print_r($VI, true));
printf('<pre>%s</pre>', print_r($VI['data.aurora.idx'], true));

 

[Ch0cu3r]

The json definition for data.aurora.idx doesn't end in a semi-colon. This causes the regex to capture the if statement that follows it, which then causes json_decode to fail and so the data for it is not returned.

 

As a hack, change

function find_VI_json($data)
{
    $VI_data = array();

to

function find_VI_json($data)
{
    $VI_data = array();

    // HACK Fix - add semi-colon after two curly braces
    $data = preg_replace('~(}})\s*~', "$1;\n", $data);

Edited January 9, 2014 by Ch0cu3r

I have 4 more VI.data that your last function work on but only if I remove the spaces before and after =

 

    // find all VI.* variables that have JSON
    preg_match_all("~VI.([^\s]+) = (\[?{[^;]+}\]?)~is", $data, $matches); <-- Before

    preg_match_all("~VI.([^\s]+)=(\[?{[^;]+}\]?)~is", $data, $matches); <-- After   

 

Is it possible somehow to remove those spaces if needed in the patern?

 

 

Then I have 1 more VI.data that does not work even though I remove the spaces before and after =
 
VI.data={"data1":"text1","data2":"text2","data3":"text3",data4:{text4a:1,text4b:1},"data5":"text5","data6":"text6","data7":"text7",data8:"text8"}};

Edited January 9, 2014 by iscode

[Ch0cu3r]

Change preg_match_all to

preg_match_all("~VI.([^\s]+)\s*=\s*(\[?{[^;]+}\]?)~is", $data, $matches);

[iscode]

Thank you

 

it worked for the first 4 data but not the last one 

[Ch0cu3r]

Ok, change the regex match to

preg_match_all("~VI.([^=]+)=\s*(\[?{[^;]+}\]?)~is", $data, $matches);

And change   $jsVar = $matches[1][$key]; to

$jsVar = trim($matches[1][$key]);

Edited January 10, 2014 by Ch0cu3r

[iscode]

No it wont wok on:

VI.data={"data1":"text1","data2":"text2","data3":"text3",data4:{text4a:1,text4b:1},"data5":"text5","data6":"text6","data7":"text7",data8:"text8"}};

[Ch0cu3r]

Where are you getting that from? As it is not valid JSON syntax, my regex will match it however json_decode will not decode it, due to having too many (closing) } braces.

VI.data={"data1":"text1","data2":"text2","data3":"text3",data4:{text4a:1,text4b:1},"data5":"text5","data6":"text6","data7":"text7",data8:"text8"}};
//                                                                                                                                               ^ too many braces here, making it invalid JSON
