Parsing text/numbers from HTML table

[medar]

I have an HTML table I have stripped down to get rid of a bunch of unwanted code, and am left with this:

http://www.bladekeep.com/tmp/ps3.dat

Is there a way to grab only the following information out of the HTML code?

I have tried parsing it looking for identifier tags, but cannot get it to work properly. I also tried displaying lines...

$lines = file('ps3.dat');
print $lines[407];
print $lines[408];
print $lines[410];

etc etc...but that did not work either, as it grabbed part of the HTML instead of just the data.

What I am doing, is pulling this off one of my sites, and storing it in a database on a separate site.

Thanks for any suggestions on functions, etc! Not new to PHP, but I have never tried parsing anything before.

if you run the site that the data is coming from then i suggest you format it differently to allow easier parsing. perhaps use your own example, with each bit of data on a separate line, then do:

$array = explode ("\n", $output);

then you have an array which you can easily traverse to clean up and insert into a database.

Is there no other way to do so? I didn't want to ask the web guy I have doing the other site to have to modify the way he is displaying data.

I am slowly getting this written by duplicating an eregi function...

$search = eregi<span class=\"ltblue\">Name:</span> <br>
				<span class=\"ltblue\">Server:</span>", $read, $print); 

$print[1] = str_replace("", "", $print[1]); 

$output = $print[1];

echo "$output";

I figure I will just duplicate the above (changing the variable names) for as many items as I need to glean out, and this should work.

Still not sure if there is a better way to do this, but so far this has pulled the first two pieces of data, and should work for the rest.
