Regexp

[Anon]

where $buffer is an entire HTML document, as one long string....

$array = split("<[^{>]>",$buffer);}

I'm looking to get an array that looks like this...
$array[0] = HTML
$array[1] = HEAD
$array[2] = /HEAD
$array[3] = BODY
$array[4] = A href="http://mysite.com"
$array[5] = A href="./directory/index.html"

etc. Why isnt the regexp working?

ereg("<[^>]>", $buffer, $array);

do that...

I would love to know if you have actually taken the time to write a program and test it? You will find the theoretical does not work in practice, and I don't know why.

Grab a random html page. Name it index.html

<?php
$file = 'index.html';
$fp = fopen($file,'r');
if (!$fp){
echo "Err opening file";
}
$buffer = '';
while (!feof ($fp)){
$buffer .= fgets ($fp,4096);
}
$array = array();
eregi("<[^>]>", $buffer, $array);
$x = 0;
while ($array[$x]){
echo "Element: ".$array[$x++]."<BR>\n";
}
?>

Nothing seems to work. <[^>]> is logically the correct regexp, but I can't get it to work correctly. Is there something wrong with my creation of the buffer?
