[Resolved] Matching a string that includes a "

[skeetley]

I am trying to ceate a bit of code that gather info from another site.

I read in the file as such:
$MovieArray = file ("http://www.blahblahblah.com");

I want to cut out all the crap on this site and just grab the table of data I need.

I need to match for the case:
<table width="100%" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0">

I tried this:

for ($m = 0 ; $m < count($MovieArray); $m++) 
{ 
if (($MovieArray[$m] == "<table width="100%" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0">")) 
{
echo "test";
}
}

Of course it doesn't work. So I replaced the " with \" and still am not successful. I thought of trying an ereg_replace to change the " to ', but the " issue remains there as well. Plase help get around this. Thanks.

Single quotes will be your friend: (also notice the difference with the syntax highlighting - the string is in all red, not red and blue - red and blue means you have a problem)

$MovieArray[$m] == '<table width="100%" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0">'

But this alone probably won't solve your problem. If and only if that table tag is on its own line, then you will probably need to do trim() on $MovieArray[$m] to make sure there's no dangling carriage returns. So you'd have:

trim($MovieArray[$m]) == '<table width="100%" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0">'

Again, this assumes the table tag is put on its own line. If it isn't, then you'll want to look into [man]preg_match[/man].
