extracting information

[ESCForums_com]

Lets say I load an html file into a var, and want to extract this:

"<table example><td>%</td>
<td>%</td>
<td>%</td>
</table>"

% being anything because it changes.
From something like:

"DATA............<table example><td>7</td>
<td>2</td>
<td>4</td>
</table>.........DATA"

How can I do this?

function get_string($h, $s, $e)
{
$sp = strpos($h, $s, 0) + strlen($s);
$ep = strpos($h, $e, 0);
return substr($h, $sp, $ep-$sp);
}

$testvar = "<table><td>7</td> 
<td>2</td> 
<td>4</td> 
</table>";
$start = "<table>";
$end = "</table>";
$table = get_string($testvar, $start, $end);

Good luck. 🙂
