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

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

Hi
This works great. One more question about preg_replace. Is it possible that for every
match other text is replaced?
By this I mean when some text between <b></b> has been found that text is replaced
with some Text, on second match, text between <b></b> is replaced by some other
different text etc.
Btw, where I can find patterns that are valid?
(something like (\w+), (\d+)+i etc.
Thanks.
Regards.
