multiple preg_match_all matches into variable question

vocoder

So I have the following line of code

preg_match_all("/(.*)<\/small>/", $html_string, $out_newsource);

that gets all the occurances of source1 here

to print these I out I do somethig like
While(List(,$source_link) = Each($out_newsource[1]))
Echo "News Srouce". $source_link . " ";

however, what I really want is to put each occurance of whatever into a seperate variable....or into an array, so I could get source 1 by saying $source_link[1], get source 2 by saying $source_link[2], etc

how would I go about doing that?

Here's what I thought of. I havent tested it, so it may not work as it is atm (typos etc...) , but the principle should be sound.


$yourString = str_replace("</small>", "", $yourString); //get rid of the closing tags
$yourArray = explode("<small>", $yourString); //make an array out of the string (the <small> tags get lost in the process
// you could always restore them with "<small>".$youArray[$x]."</small>" though

Hope this helps

...or you could use preg_match_all().

i don't think that will work....i have an entire html page in a string..and then i go through that to grab various area's (newsheadline, newsource, date, time) so there are many newsitems in this page and what i'm trying to do is seperate out each item (headline, source, date, time), but have them listed as headline1, headline2, headline3, etc etc.

I figured it out...quite easy to do, feel like a fool heh.

While(List(,$source_link) = Each($out_source[1]))
$source_array[] = $source_link;
