EREGI - Parsing HTML tags

[Anon]

Hey guys,

can someone of you help me please, I am having some problem wiht a HTML tag parser.

I am trying to fetch a html page to extract the content of a section contained between <div class=text> TEXT TO PARSE </div>. After this, other tags use DIV's but none use class=text.

I am trying to use
eregi("<div class=text>(.*)</div>",$html_to_parse,$array_in_return)

but $array_in_return[1] starts right after the correct opening BUT ends way further the first </div> closure.

Anyone can help me with this parsing?

Thanks,

Vin

Yeah, stick a ? immediately after your * - this will stop the matching at the first </div> it encounters, instead of the last.

Grumbler,

thank you, I'll try this immediatly.

Let me also take this opportunity to thank you for your reply about PHP sessions that won't get trashed as one would expect (a couple of days ago).

You're welcome.

I hope I was able to help on the session thing - and didn't just muddy things even further 🙂

Oh, you sure helped me! what you gave was a clean overview on how things work on sessions. I was able to focus more on my primary goal (to track user's in) and solve the Who's IN problem (I did use a cookie, just to verify that the user was there before and, if no cookies was detected gave the user the choice to access a unlock page to eventually destroy his still alive session).
