Alright, I see that this is probably the way to go, but I'm dying here. I
have this:
$filename =
fopen("http://www.kinyradio.com/juneaunews/latest_juneau_news.html";, "r");
$contents = fread($filename, 1000000);
preg_match_all("|<font face=\"Verdana\" size=\"3\"><b>+[-a-zA-Z0-9,. ]+|i",
$contents, $out);
print_r($out);
And it returns this:
Array ( [0] => Array ( [0] => Injured hiker [1] => Toy guns looked real
enough [2] => U-S Forest Service Chief visiting [3] => Millions in
compensation divided up [4] => Alaska Air [5] => One car [6] => Services [7]
=> Talkeetna ) [1] => Array ( [0] => Injured hiker [1] => Toy guns looked
real enough [2] => U-S Forest Service Chief visiting [3] => Millions in
compensation divided up [4] => Alaska Air [5] => One car [6] => Services [7]
=> Talkeetna ) )
This is definitely progress, but the headlines are truncated. I have a
feeling this has something to do with linebreaks, but I don't know how to
account for those. For example, $out[0][0] should read "Injured hiker
rescued on Mt. Juneau" and $out[0][2] should end with "...Alaska for the
first time".
The manual entries for preg_match and preg_match_all pretty much assume you
have a working knowledge of reg expressions, which I don't, and a google
search turned up a bunch of pages, none of which I could understand enough
to be of help. So, any pointers would be appreciated. Thanks!

Not sure why you're using fscanf() and why it doesn't work. I would use
preg_match() on $contents.
