<?php  

$start = '<td><font face="Verdana,Arial" size="2"><B>Honorlevel:</B></font></td> 
<td><font face="Verdana,Arial" size="2">';  

$end = '</font></td>';  



$start = preg_quote($start, '/');  

$end = preg_quote($end, '/');  

$url = 'http://aaotracker.4players.de/usertracker.php?userid=254111';  

$file = fopen("$url", "r");   

$document = fread($file, 80000);  

preg_match("/$start(.*?)$end/", $document, $matches);  

print_r($matches);    

?>

output should be 41 but instead output is array() how can i fix this?
on php 4.2

If $matches is an array, than you can find it contents using the [man]foreach[/man] function.

foreach ($array as $key=>$val){
echo "Key: ".$key." :: Value: ".$val."<br>";
}

<?php  

$start = "<title>";  

$end = "</title>";  

$url = "http://aaotracker.4players.de/usertracker.php?userid=254111";  

$file = fopen($url, "r");   

$r = fread($file, 80000);  

$stuff = eregi($start."(.*)".$end, $r, $info);

echo $info[1];
?>

ok last one worked i guess the problem is you can do a start with and opening tag without the closing too. i.e. <TD> needs </TD> or it wont search for it. Atleast it wouldnt for me.

Kudose

It doesn't matter if you don't close your tag.

Have you printed your search paramaters to verify that no extra characters are being placed in before the eregi?
