When trying to web-scrape data like this, I would recommend that you try to focus on things that are NOT likely to change, rather than the HTML bits that probably will change. When you HAVE to use the HTML, focus on the smallest elements of HTML that you can to identify what you want, so your odds of an altered HTML page will be less likely to affect you. I would try this: '/username=(.*)\\&.*"right">([0-9]*).*"right>([0-9]*).*"right>([0-9,]*)/' PS FOR SURE, you need 0-9 and not 1-9 for your numbers: Rank: 10 Score: 45,067,13 etc > Can you explain me how I can get those values? < and > are probably being interpreted as special characters or something. -- Like Music? http://l-i-e.com/artists.htm -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
