a regular expression question

[Joe826]

Hi Everyone,

I'm trying to get this regular expression figured out, if anyone has any ideas i'd really appreciate it. I'm looking to capture the '81' in a variable. When I run the program it doesn't pick up anything. Any ideas?

<?php
$test1 ="<td><font face=verdana,sans-serif size=2 color=E8E8E8>&nbsp;81</td>";

eregi("^{E8>&nbsp;[1-9][0-9]*</td>",} $test1, $numarray);

print $numarray[0];
print $numarray[1];
print $numarray[2];
print $numarray[3];
?>

Thanks,
Joe

I am not very good at this either but this worked when I tried it. It will pick up the number with or without a space before it. Hope it helps get you started.

<?php

$test1 ="<td\><font face=verdana,sans-serif size=2 color=E8E8E8> 81</td>";

$pattern = '/\s*[1-9]*\<\/td\>/';

preg_match_all ($pattern, $test1, $numarray);

print $numarray[0][0];

?>

If all you need in the example you gave was the 81, you can do something like this:

$test1 ="<td><font face=verdana,sans-serif size=2 color=E8E8E8> 81</font></td>"

$test1 = preg_replace("'<[\/!]?[^<>]?>'si", "",$test1);

print "$test1<br>";

81
