regullar expression problem

[pornost4r]

hi

i am trying to retrieve just a part of html (a table) from a site. and this table is sitauted between <HR> and <HR>. it looks like this:
<hr>
<table ....>
<tr><td> ... </td></tr>
</table>
<hr>

and i used this regullar expression to retrieve that table ($text1 is that site):

$reg = "/.?<HR>(.?)<HR>/i";
$text1 = ereg_replace("\n","",$text1);
preg_match_all($reg,$text1,$matches);

well the problem is that i don't retrieve the table, but just the content of the table. i don't retrieve html code like <TABLE ..<TR ... and so on, but just to content (text) between <TD> and </TD>.

can someone tell me what the problem is??

thanx a lot ppl

First, you can lose the .*? at the start of your expression.

Second, preg_math_all() creates an array of matches, make sure you are looking at the correct element of that array.

Third, are you sure you are not just looking at a rendered html table?

this is my code:

$eng[0]['url'] = "http://xxxx.com/refgg?host=$host&domain=$domain&type=$type";
$eng[0]['reg'] = "/<HR>(.*)<HR>/i";

$urls = array();
$out = array();

regullar expressions

foreach($eng as $c)
{
$text1 = join("",file($c['url']));
#$text1 = htmlspecialchars($text1);
$text1 = ereg_replace("\n","",$text1);

preg_match_all($c['reg'],$text1,$matches);
$num = count($matches[0]);

for($x=0; $x<$num; $x++)
{
	$tabela_t1 = strip_tags($matches[1][$x]);
	$out["$url"][tabela_t1] = $tabela_t1;
}

}

end regullar expressions

echo "<br><br>\n";

while(list($url,$rec) = each($out))
{
extract($rec);

echo "$tabela_t1";

}

as you see, it's really really simple. and i did this a lot of times before, but now 🙁.

and this is the table i want to get:
...
</center>
<HR><TABLE CELLSPACING=0 CELLPADDING=0>
<TR><TD NOWRAP COLSPAN=4></TD></TR>
<TR><TD NOWRAP COLSPAN=4>;; ANSWERS:</TD></TR>
<TR><TD NOWRAP><A HREF="/cgi-bin/regg?host=&type=NS&domain=inet.ba.">xxx.ba.</A></TD>
</TABLE>
<hr><center>
...

as you see, it si between two <HR>s. and i still can't retrieve it. have any ideas?

this code above is functioning, but i can't retrieve the html code of the page. instead of all table, i get just get the text (no hyperlinx, no TD or TD ... --- nothing).

any ideas???

thanks
