Text extract from html help

sooty

I need to extract just the text elements from an html table into an array, I've tried every flavor of preg_match_all I can think of but can't make it work so maybe that's not the way to do it. I would appreciate some help. Here's the html:

      <TR>
          <TD  colspan="3" height=9 ALIGN="left"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp&nbsp text1</TD></FONT>
          <!--<TD  colspan="4" height=9 ALIGN="center"><FONT SIZE=2>#Date#</TD></FONT>-->
          <TD  colspan="1" height=9 ALIGN="center"><FONT SIZE=2>Apr 10, 00:02</TD></FONT>
          <TD  colspan="1" height=9 ALIGN="center"><FONT SIZE=2>3.9&deg C.</TD></FONT>
          <TD  colspan="1" height=9 ALIGN="center"><FONT SIZE=2>5.6&deg C.</TD></FONT>
          <TD  colspan="2" height=9 ALIGN="center"><FONT SIZE=2>Moist</TD></FONT>
          <TD  colspan="1" height=9 ALIGN="center"><FONT SIZE=2>87%</TD></FONT>
          <TD  colspan="1" height=9 ALIGN="center"><FONT SIZE=2>0.8 km/h</TD></FONT>
          <TD  colspan="3" height=9 ALIGN="center"><FONT SIZE=2>North-westerly</TD></FONT>
          <TD  colspan="3" height=9 ALIGN="center"><FONT SIZE=2>No recent rainfall</TD></FONT>
      </TR>
