How to get a string between two strings

[budz]

I am trying to grab a remote webpage, then grab a string between two strings that I know i.e

<--start string-->
random stuff inbetween
<--end string-->

I was trying to use substr, but the character count changes..

oh yea, here is what I have so far

$url="http://www.whois.sc/internet-statistics/index.html";
$fhandle = file($url)l
$content = implode('', $fhandle);
$f = substr($content,3725,3735);
print $f;
exit;

I would like a way to get the table other than substr if possible..

Any ideas or help would be much appreciated!

Two words: Regular Expressiopns

[man]preg_match[/man] is probably a good place to look to start. Sorry, I am not good with RegExp, so I can't be of any assistance in this arena, other than to say that's probably the route you need to take.
