Problem with reg_search() function

SiMZ

Hi,

I want to get the code inbetween the tags <body> and </body> .
First the contents are read from a file and then parsed.

$reg1 = "<";
$reg2 = "[Bb][Oo][Dd][Yy]";
$reg3 = ">";
$reg4 = "</";
$reg5= " |[:space:]";

$temp = file("Temp.txt");
$Str = implode($temp , "");

$start = (Som fun) ($Str, "$reg1($reg5)$reg2($reg5)$reg3");
$end = (Som fun) ($Str, "$reg4($reg5)$reg2($reg5)$reg3");
$insideBody = substr($Str, $start, ($end - $start));
if(ereg($Str, "$reg1($reg5)$reg2($reg5)$reg3"))
{
echo("<BODY> tag found <br>");
}
if(ereg($Str, "$reg4($reg5)$reg2($reg5)$reg3"))
{
echo("</BODY> tag found <br>");
}

echo("start: $start <br>");
echo("end: $end <br>");
echo($insideBody);

I have following problems in the coding:

A) Need a function at lines 8 and 9 to get the correct position

using regular expressions. Tried with substr(), but then again

the matching part has to be string.
😎 The 'IF' conditions at lines 11 and 15 never evaluates to TRUE.
This means that there is some error in the regular
expressions. Please check them. Right now I have ignored the
tag elements. Only looking against the < body > and </ body>
with spaces inbetween the word and the <, </ and >
characters.

Having put your file into an array (with the file() function), why not just cycle through the array, picking out the line containing the 'open' body tag, and the the line containing the 'close' body tag. (I use the preg_match() function ... the regex can be made to be case-insensitive ... e.g.)
Everything in-between is the contents ... you might also have to see what text comes after <body> on the 'open' body tag line and what comes before </body> on the 'close' body tag line.

The only other thing is that you are assuming that the body tag does not have any attributes (like color="#FF0000") of its own. But that's for another day ...

So,

$file_array = file("preg.html");
$contents_string = "";
$open_body_found = false;

for($i = 0; $i < count($file_array); $i++){
	$line = $file_array[$i];

if(preg_match("/<body>/i", $line)){
	$tmp = explode("<body>", $line);
	$contents_string .= $tmp[1]; // After <body>
	$open_body_found = true;
} else if(preg_match("/<\/body>/i", $line)){
	$tmp = explode("</body>", $line);
	$contents_string .= $tmp[0]; // Pre </body>
	break;
} else if($open_body_found){
	$contents_string .= $line;
}

}
echo $contents_string;
