Hi

How can I parse HTML page which I fetched by PHP so some part of text would
be replaced by other text.

For example, if I have bold text on HTML page (<b>Some text</b>) how can I
manage that all bold text on that page is replaced by some other text.

Also, I managed to delete all HTML code from page (with this code
$data[0] = preg_replace("/([<])+([^>])+([.])*([>])+/i","", $data[0]);

but also would like to delete all chars except numbers from page, can this
be done?

Regards.
Zoran

Your first question:
To replace certain elements take a look at preg_replace()
http://us4.php.net/manual/en/function.preg-replace.php

Example:

$foo = 'stuff <b>silly stuff</b> more stuff';
echo preg_replace('/\<b\>(.*)\<\/b\>/', "<h1>$1 lookie now</h1>", $foo);

Your second question:
You could just use strip_tags()
http://us4.php.net/manual/en/function.strip-tags.php

Your last question:
To delete everything but numbers you could $content =
preg_replace('/[^\d]/','', $content);

Hope that helps
