Regex not working, noone in regex forums... need help badly

[spikeon]

 

I am writing a code that will read a public database to gather information

 

i have hit a snag where there can be more than one result for a specific type

 

The Result could be:

<tr><td class="TextResultsRowHeader">Set/Rarity:</td><td class="TextResultsRowValue">Morningtide Common</td></tr>

Or:

<tr><td class="TextResultsRowHeader">Set/Rarity:</td><td class="TextResultsRowValue">Morningtide Common, Ninth Edition Common, Onslaught Common</td></tr>

Or many other variations, with up to 7 different sets and raritys.

 

i want to seperate all of the sets from this list

 

here is my regex:

  ereg(".*<tr><td class..TextResultsRowHeader.>Set/Rarity:</td><td class..TextResultsRowValue.>([a-zA-Z ]{1,30}) [a-zA-Z]{1,10}[,]{0,1}([a-zA-Z ]{0,30}) [a-zA-Z]{0,10}[,]{0,1}([a-zA-Z ]{0,30}) [a-zA-Z]{0,10}[,]{0,1}([a-zA-Z ]{0,30}) [a-zA-Z]{0,10}[,]{0,1}([a-zA-Z ]{0,30}) [a-zA-Z]{0,10}[,]{0,1}([a-zA-Z ]{0,30}) [a-zA-Z]{0,10}[,]{0,1}([a-zA-Z ]{0,30}) [a-zA-Z]{0,10}</td></tr>.*",$str, $matches);

 

however, it dosen't seem to work.

 

Help Please!!!

use the preg_match to grab everything

than use explode to seperate the listing based on the comma, is simpler

if(preg_match('<td class="TextResultsRowValue">(.*)</td>',$str,$matches))
    $list=explode(',',$matches[1])
