fetching data with PHP Simple HTML DOM Parser or preg_match_all

[dil_bert]

good day dear experts,

 

hello i need to fetch the data out of this page

http://europa.eu/youth/volunteering/evs-organisation_en

first i do a view on the page source to find HTML elements: view-source:https://europa.eu/youth/volunteering/evs-organisation_en

note: i need to fetch the data that come right below this line:

<h3>EVS accredited organisations search results: <span class="ey_badge">6066</span></h3>  </div>

i have several optoins: to do this with PHP Simple HTML DOM Parser (cf.http://simplehtmldom.sourceforge.net/manual.htm ): This way i need to  create HTML DOM object

BTW: there are other options: to do this with a special function: pc_link_extractor which is etracting all the links

function pc_link_extractor($s) {
$a = array();
if (preg_match_all(‘/>]*)[\”\’]?[^>]*>(.*?)\/a>/i’,$s,$matches,PREG_SET_ORDER)) {

foreach($matches as $match) {
array_push($a,array($match[1],$match[2]));
}
}
return $a;
}

or i am able to do it with -

preg_match_ all  

see for example:

- preg_match
#1 preg_match_all      ("|<[^>]+>(.*)</[^>]+>|U",
 "<b>example: </b><div align=\"left\">this is a test</div>",
 $out,
 PREG_PATTERN_ORDER)

see here the dataset which i am interested in  derived from h site: http://europa.eu/youth/volunteering/evs-organisation_en

I see you posted this on other forums, so my advice is still the same - using HTML DOM Parser is way easier than writing your own preg_match rules.
