pickachu Posted January 6, 2008 Share Posted January 6, 2008 Hi everyone, i have tried searching google but i never get my desired result. Here is my problem, I making a program that needs to read a specific content. Example, inside a html file.. <html> <head></head> <body> <p>PHP freaks!!! Awesome site!!! blah blah.. Here is your first number: 1 and your second number: 2</p> </body> </html> I need to put the value of first number (which is 1) inside a variable, and the second number to aother variable. How do I this? I dont have any idea where to start with this..

phpQuestioner Posted January 6, 2008 Share Posted January 6, 2008 you can put the sentence in a variable and explode it to get the array keys values. then put the corresponding array key (that has a numeric value) in a variable. <html> <head></head> <body> <?php $optionstatement="<p>PHP freaks!!! Awesome site!!! blah blah.. Here is your first number: 1 and your second number: 2</p>"; echo "$optionstatement\n"; $dice = explode(" ", $optionstatement); $value1 = $dice[11]; $value2 = $dice[16]; ?> </body> </html> Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/84688-read-specific-string-inside-html-file/#findComment-431626 Share on other sites More sharing options...
chronister Posted January 6, 2008 Share Posted January 6, 2008 You may be able to do it by wrapping the desired content in a specific span or div tag with an id or class and use regex to find that particular piece. I am not sure how good javascript is at passing data into a php file as it has been a long time since I tried, but you may be able to get the innerHTML of the div or span and drop the results into a PHP var.... but again I am not sure if that would work at all since JS is client and PHP is server side.
