hi everyone,
im fairly new to php scripting and was having trouble grabing information
from a website.
i have been able to grab information that is in amongst other text (for
example, the word firemaking below)
-------
<td><a href="hiscoreuser.cgi?username=champinoman&category=12"
class=c>Firemaking</a></td>
<td align="right">7,386</td><td align="right">
61
</td><td align="right">
333,575
</td></tr>
-------
but the number i want to grab is the 61. its on its own line which i think
is the reason im having trouble.
i have been using this:
eregi
("username=champinoman&category=13.*align=\"right\">(.*)</td>",$line,$out)
what am i doing wrong? have i posted enough information.
thank you for the help.
p.s. try and keep the answers fairly straight forward as i am new to this
instead of the POSIX regexp, tr using PERL style RegExps
(www.php.net/pcre) Once you've done that, you can add the pattern
modifier 'm' to allow multilines .
