Php Parse

I am trying to read in a txt file with html tags making up the majority of the file. What I am trying to get is information between <tt> and </tt>. Can anyone tell me how this can be done.

Thanks in advance
Mitt

try using this function

//return stuff inside a string
function StrGetInside($MyStr,$MyStart,$MyEnd,$StartPos)
{
$MyPos1 = strpos(strtolower($MyStr),strtolower($MyStart),$StartPos);
$MyPos2 = strpos(strtolower($MyStr),strtolower($MyEnd),$MyPos1 + strlen($MyStart));

    if ($MyPos1 == false || $MyPos2 == false)
            {
            return \"ERR\";
            }
    else
            {
            $TmpStr = substr($MyStr,$MyPos1 + strlen($MyStart),$MyPos2 - $MyPos1 - strlen($MyStart));
            return $TmpStr;
            }

    }

I am not sure but it may be more effecient to use the builtin "preg_match" function instead.

Now that is just f****ng weak.
Does your mother let you do that at home?

Really, I wonder who the hell would employ someone who used that crap in their code, muchless handed that out as a recommended method.

preg_match_all('/<tt>+(.*)</tt>/i',$str,$array);
//var $array now contains all text inside <tt></tt> throughout the file.
print_r($array);

...and this works far better than your entire lame ass function and much faster too.

Just say no to stringFunc Freaks!

...need to escape the slash
preg_match_all('/<tt>+(.*)<\/tt>/i',$str,$array);
