Question

Is it possible to get and then echo the content in between tags using only PHP?

For instance. If this is the following HTML:

<td class="header subject">Text</td>

How can you get Text from inside the tags and then echo it?

I thought this would work:

<? 
preg_match("'<td class=\"header subject\">(.*?)</td>'si", $source, $match);
if($match) echo "result=".$match[1];
?>

But the $source variable has to be the entire page.

Note: There is only one instance of the header subject class, so there shouldn’t be a problem with multiple tags.

Assuming your problem is because you don’t know how to interpret the page, you might want to try this:

<?php 
$lines = file("/path/to/file.html");
foreach($lines as $i => $line)
{
   if (preg_match("'<td class=\"header subject\">(.*?)</td>'si", $line, $match))
   {
      echo "result=". $match[$i];
   }
}
?>
