RE: [PHP] Parsing HTML tags

[Brian Paulson]

I use this function

function title($filename,$dir)
        {
 $loc = "path/to/dir/where/file/is";
    if(is_file("$loc/$filename"))
        {
    $open=fopen("$loc/$filename","r");
                 while(!feof($open))
                   {
            $line=fgets($open,255);
                           $string = $line;
             while(ereg( '<title>([^<]*)</title>(.*)', $string, $regs ) )
                               {
                                   $string = $regs[2];
                                }
                   }
                 return $regs[1];
                }
        }


call it like so

print(title("home.htm","web/articles"));

The only drawback is if there is any < > tags in between the <title></title>
tags it will not get the title, also if the title is on two lines like this

<title>This is the title of
my page</title>

it won't get the title either.

Subject: [PHP] Parsing HTML tags


Could anyone tell me how to extract a string from between a pair of HTML
tags?

Specifically, I would like to extract the page title from between the
<title> and </title> tags. I have read the regular expression docs and I'm
still a bit stuck.

Can anyone help?

Thanks in advance,

Chris Empson
