Regalar Expression To Extract An Html Link From A Page
I have a regalar expression to extract an html link from a page:
href=(["']?)([^>1]*.html)1(?: [^>]*)?>
It looks after the "href" for an optional quote and then looks for something
that is not the quote or the endarrow.
The problematic part is [^>1]*. It should exclude anything with the quote,
but somehow that doesn't work. Maybe 1 is not allowed inside brackets?
I would like some advice on how to handle this.

Regular Expression To Get A Page's HTML Into A String
First wanted to say that PHPBuilder seems like an amazing site to me so far. Until a couple weeks ago I had no idea what PHP was. I recently bought a book and have already learned a decent amount, and am excited by how much PHP has to offer. Anyway, here's my question: I want to get a page's HTML into a string, and then parse the string and return the first expression in standard US dollar form... $(one or more digits).(2 digits) How do I go about doing this with, let's say, this page? That is just an example, it doesn't have to be Amazon.

Html Page Link Prints Path 3 Times In Header
I have a website with html pages and a php page (a form). I just put in links on the html pages to the php page. When I click them I go to the php page and as bonus the path of the html page is printed at the top three times. (The text in the php page changes depending on which page I have hit the link from.) For example: Quote: http://mysite.com/sitefolder/previouspage.htmlhttp://mysite.com/sitefolder/previouspage.htmlhttp://mysite.com/sitefolder/previouspage.htmlhttp If I highlight and then delete this text in Navigator or Explore both browsers return me to the page written out three times at the top of the page.

Regular Expression :: Extract Between Brackets
I'm looking for a regular expression but I can't figure out how to do it right. I've got a string like this: '{var1} - {var2} foo bar foo bar {var3} etc.' Now I wan't to extract all the bits that are within the brackets. With my regular expression: ({)(.*)(}) I get everything from the first bracket until the last and the ones within are discarded. I guess I have to tell the expression that no occurences of '{' are allowed within, but I don't know how to do this ..

Regular Expression :: Extract The Src Links And Titles Of All The Images
I want to extract the src links and titles of all the images that do have a title in their <img> tag in an HTML page. The problem is that I don't know if the title attribute of the <img> tag is before, after or separated by other attributes from the src attribute (which contains the URL of the image). I want a regex that matches both the title specified by the "title=" attribute and the URL of the image specified by the "src=" attribute of the same <img> element. I want it to match the src and title (in two different parenthesized subsets of the regex) if, and only if, both the title and src attributes are present in the <img> element in no specific order relative to each other. I guess it may require some conditional statement or so.

Using Preg_match_all To Locate HTML Anchor Link BUT Only If The Link Is A .pdf File
The subject line describes what I'm trying to do, (and after thinking about it for a day or so and trying different things; searching around for similar questions on the board,) but I still haven't found a proper regular expression. I am trying to use preg_match_all to locate HTML Anchor link BUT only if the link is a .pdf file within text from a database table. It actually was working just fine until I recently made a change regarding new lines () and (<br />) in the text that is to be searched. But after making changes regarding the new lines and things, my previous regexp doesn't work correctly. Here is the regexp I am trying to use: preg_match_all('/<a href="(.*)">(.*)</a>/U', $entry->Record['e_entry'], $res_output, PREG_PATTERN_ORDER); That regexp does find each occurance of an <a href="">something here</a> link... but I need it to only find occurances of an anchor link if it is a PDF file link (ex: <a href="../something.pdf">something</a>). So I tried changing the regexp to something like this: preg_match_all('/<a href="(.*).pdf">(.*)</a>/U', $entry->Record['e_entry'], $res_output, PREG_PATTERN_ORDER); But in the preg_match_all results array ($res_output) a regular <a href="">something here</a> link is ALSO found as well as the .pdf links... I am trying to only find links that contain .pdf at the end of the file name. Sorry that this is written kind of strangely, if you need more info let me know. Does anyone know what I need to change in the regexp to ONLY find HTML anchor links that contain .pdf at the end of the HREF?

Extract Headlines From A HTML File.
I try to write a simple web crawler. It has to do the following: 1) Open an URL and retrieve a HTML file. 2) Extract news headlines from the HTML file 3) Put the headlines into a RSS file. For example, I want to go to this site and extract the headlines: www.unstrung.com/section.asp?section_id=86 The problem is I do not know howto extract a headline from a HTML file. I mean HTML is not structured as XML, so I do not really know to solve this problem. I notice that PHP has URL Functions to deal with HTML file. For example, you have get_meta_tags () to extract meta tag content attributes from a HTML file. But then, extract meta tag is easy. With headlines, I don't really know where the headlines are on a HTML file. Would anyone give me inputs on this? This is not an impossible problem. If you look at Google News (http://news.google.com/), they crawl the web and sort the headlines on their site.

Using PHP To Parse Html Tables And Extract Values
I've been presented with a task of parsing multiple .jsp's (this is after they have been executed server side so I guess for all purposes its actually a html file). Anyway each of these pages have large complex tables displaying a lot of reporting data for one of our systems. My original method of carrying out this task was to go into the code and get the actual DB querys that the page executes and have this more as a bash based solution. However after spending several days trying to hack my way through a jungle of 100's of querys which dont hold to any naming convention Im going to plan B. So here's what Im looking to do. Get php to construct the correct url for the jsp. What I mean by construct is to make the url while dynamically inserting the correct values into the url as it uses GET to set the date range of the information it writes to the browser. Once its done that and requested the page is processed I want php to search through the page and find the results that Im looking for, assign them to variables and finally format the information from all the different jsp's into one php page. One nice thing is that I'm able to modify the .jsp's to wrap a comment around the data I want for example. I think this should remove the hardest part of the job which is having php identify what values I actually want. #take_this_value# 1234556 ####### What I dont know is how to get PHP to request the url I create,parse it and extract the values. I'm guessing this is a job for wget and regular expressions but Im not too sure where to start (or if there is more appropriate functions to use).

Extract Only Plain Text From A Page
Basically, what I am trying to do is write some PHP code that will automatically take text from any web page and eliminate all the HTML, CSS, and JS codes and formatting, leaving only the plain text from the page. I got my code started, but I have hit a snag with javascript and css codes. This is what I have so far: <?php $geturl = $_GET["url"]; ob_start(); include($geturl); $page = ob_get_contents(); ob_end_clean(); $output = ereg_replace('<script.*.</script>', ' ', $page); $output2 = ereg_replace('<style.*.</style>', ' ', $output); $plaintext = strip_tags($output2); echo $plaintext; ?> The strip_tags function automatically removes all html tags, but it doesn't do anything to javascript and css because html code is not provided between the beginning and end tags, whereas javascript and css codes are both contained within two separate tags, like this for more clarification: html: <div name="htmltag">Keep this text here</div> javascript: <script>function somejs() {remove all this code}</script> As you can see, the text between the div tags should stay, but the js between the script tags should be removed because it is code. I then tried the ereg_replace function to get rid of js and css codes, but there is a problem when there is more than 1 piece of js or css code. The wildcard value (.*.) skips over any ending script or style tags until it reaches the last ending tag, therefore deleting all the text between the two pieces of code. Example: <SCRIPT>function somejs() {remove all this code}</script> //removes all text and code from beginning here KEEP ALL THIS TEXT HERE <script>function somejs() {remove all this code}</SCRIPT> //to end here Now finally down to the question, is there any way to only remove the js and css code between the beginning tag and the immediate next ending tag? Or is there any other way to get rid of the javascript and css codes?

Regular Expression Detecting Entire Page
I am making a flat file, static HTML search engine for a site. I downloaded a script from the net and have been working with it for my needs. Everything was working OK with a few test Lorem Ipsum pages. But the moment I try to search real data, fit hits the shan. The script uses a regular expression to search through the files. And for most of these files, the regular expression doesnt seem to pick up the matches as it should, and for lack of a match, it outputs the entire html page as a hit. The search word is on the page somewhere, but it still outputs the entire page. Allow me --------8<---------------------------- if(preg_match_all("/((sS*){0,3})($keyword) ((s?S*){0,3})/i", $portion, $match, PREG_SET_ORDER)); { if(!$limit_extracts) $number=count($match); else $number=$limit_extracts; for ($h=0;$h<$number;$h++){ // no limit if (!empty($match[$h][3])) $text = sprintf("... %s<font class='keyword'>%s</font>%s ...", $match[$h][1], $match[$h][3], $match[$h][4]); else{ //print_r($match); } } } --------8<---------------------------- There's the regex that looks through $portion, which is the strip_tags version of the file's contents. And if I echo $portion right before that line, I see the stripped code. However, when I get to the line where it checks $match[$h][3] for the keyword that was searched for, it craps out. Not 100% of the time, but most of the time. Im trying to figure out details about these html pages, to no avail. So as a result of failing that empty test, the entire html page is dumped out as a search result. Not being a regex expert, Ive had a hell of time troubleshooting. But I feel the problem lies in there. Something with the regex not finding the keyword correctly, or something.
