eits Posted January 29, 2008 Share Posted January 29, 2008 Hi, I am looking at someway to split a variable $data. Several times! For example say that $data was: Hello, PHP Freaks is cool. I want to be able to split this. I would like to be able to split it into three parts: $part1 = Hello, PHP Freaks is $part2 = cool. I want to be $part3 = able to split this. I am looking to do this by using words which only appear once in the data. Pleas ehelp!

eits Posted January 29, 2008 Author Share Posted January 29, 2008 OK well say $data was a HTML file for example. I want the data between <h1> and </h1> to be $heading. You get the idea?

rajivgonsalves Posted January 29, 2008 Share Posted January 29, 2008 you'll have to use heavy regular expression to extract data from html files here just a simple example <?php $strHtml = <<< EOF <html> <head> <title>This is the title</title> </head> <body> <h1>Some H1 Text</h1> some text </body> </html> EOF; preg_match("#<h1>(.*?)</h1>#",$strHtml,$arrMatches); print_r($arrMatches[1]); ?> hope its helpful...
