cooldude832 Posted November 13, 2007 Author Share Posted November 13, 2007 that is working great, but now my issue is I somehow have to clear out all the css and all the <script> tags as these are carrying over with junk data. Any ideas? Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/77093-matching-certain-tags/#findComment-390732 Share on other sites More sharing options...
effigy Posted November 13, 2007 Share Posted November 13, 2007 Loop through the array and: 1. Remove <script...>...</script>. 2. Remove style="..." . Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/77093-matching-certain-tags/#findComment-390760 Share on other sites More sharing options...
cooldude832 Posted November 13, 2007 Author Share Posted November 13, 2007 well my first issue was I wanted to remove all the info pre the body tag, I did it using explode, but not all body tags are all lower case, and some had some issues, again a regex issue I tried "\<body*>\"; no good, if you got an idea to do a preg_split at that I'd love to see it, that clears up some of it, but then in body <script> tags also are need to remove, my goal is to strip a page of everythign but container elements (<div>,<table><tr><td>)) whcih that pattern is doing for me, but then also kill all the script/css tags as those are special cases so I guess I need to find a replace ment for <script*>*</script> and <style*>*</style> Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/77093-matching-certain-tags/#findComment-390964 Share on other sites More sharing options...
effigy Posted November 13, 2007 Share Posted November 13, 2007 What about something like this? <pre> <?php $data = <<<DATA <html> <head> <title>Title</title> </head> <body> <font>Font Tag</font> <div>Div Content</div> <div id="1">More Div Content</div> <b>Bold</b> <table> <tr> <td>A Cell</td> </tr> </table> <hr> </body> </html> DATA; ### Split on the begin/end tags of what is desired ### and pull some content along. $matches = preg_split( '%(</?(?:div|t(?:able|[rd]))[^>]*>[^<]*)%', $data, -1, PREG_SPLIT_DELIM_CAPTURE ); ### For each match... $num_matches = count($matches); for ($i = 0; $i < $num_matches; $i++) { ### Strip unwanted tags. $matches[$i] = strip_tags($matches[$i], '<div><table><tr><td>'); ### If the entry doesn't start with a "<" (tag) it wasn't ### included in our split; thus, not desired. if (strpos($matches[$i], '<') !== 0) { unset($matches[$i]); } ### Otherwise, escape it for viewing purposes. else { $matches[$i] = htmlspecialchars($matches[$i]); } } ### Display. print_r($matches); ?> </pre> Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/77093-matching-certain-tags/#findComment-390988 Share on other sites More sharing options...
cooldude832 Posted November 13, 2007 Author Share Posted November 13, 2007 that is working, now I just want to build some sort of multi dimensonal array of the data based on tag depth which I can figrue out, note I subbed back in the < > for the < and > as its easier to type, but i did it post your thing, I'll pm you with the final result if you interested in it.
