Find text between TITLE tags in HTML

Anon

Hi,

I need to extract the text between the title tags of an HTML document, the case could be all upper/lower or even mixed, can anyone shed light on this. I am having no success understanding the preg_match commands.

You might want to look at the strip_tags function which handles that for you. Info can be found at http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.strip-tags.php

function get_title($html)
{
$ary_html = spliti("(<title>)[[:space:]]|[[:space:]](</title>)",$html);
return $ary_html[1];
}

i havent tested this but it should work... it will allow the title tags and actual titles to be on different lines and the case of the tags will not matter...

Hmmm ... that won't works ... [[:space:]]* won't ring the bell ...

This is the right answer :

$str = "your html code here .... <TITLE>bla bla bla</TITLE>";

preg_match_all("/<title>([^{<]*)/i",$str,$arr,PREG_SET_ORDER);}
print $arr[0][1];
