    Hi Lads,

    I'm always trying to get information from one site and put it on another, like the bebo block my friends have, to make something quick and easy to output the contents of a bebo page? how do I get the contents of a certain part of a page into a php variable?

    Thanks
    Gary
    $content ="<tr><td valign=top align=middle width=90><a href=Profile.jsp?MemberId=272517134><img src=http://i2.bebo.com/035b/9/medium/2007/09/25/16/272517134a5647857940m.jpg border=0 width=90 height=90 vspace=1 hspace=5></a></td><td valign=top><img align=right vspace=3 src=http://s.bebo.com/img/luv.gif><a href=Profile.jsp?MemberId=272517134><b>Louise</b></a><br>DYING for sleep <img src=http://s.bebo.com/img/smiley_sad.gif> <img src=http://s.bebo.com/img/smiley_sad.gif> !!</td></tr>";

preg_match_all("/(<b>Louise</b></a><br>)?(</td></tr>)/i", $content, $matches);

echo $matches[1];

    You're not escaping forward slashes where you should be.

    If the HTML to match is
    <b> testing </b>

    Then the forward slash denoting the end of the b block needs to be escaped.

    Example:
    preg_match_all("/<b>(.*)<\/b><\/a><br>(.*)<\/td><\/tr>/i", $content, $matches);

echo $matches[1][0] . " is " . $matches[2][0];
