Hi all,
I wonder if anyone can give me some help here.
I have permission from a colleage to use some data from his website,
now I need to take the data and intermingle some of the information
with data from my database. I only have access to the HTML of the
external site, there's no XML feed or anything simple I can get it
from either. So, I was wondering if there was an easyish way of
parsing out the info I need from the HTML and putting it into and
array or something? This is how the HTML is formed:
<div class="primary-clear">
<p style="float:right; font-weight:bold">Tel: .</p>
<h2>xxNeed this Titlexx</h2>
<div class="data-clear">
<div>
<address>Address line 1
address line 2
Postcode
</address>
</div>
</div>
<hr />
<ul>
<li class="first">
<a href="#">more details</a>
</li>
</ul>
</div>
<div class="listing-break"></div>
<div class="primary-clear">
<p style="float:right; font-weight:bold">Tel: .</p>
<h2>xxNeed this Titlexx</h2>
<div class="data-clear">
<div>
<address>Address line 1
address line 2
Postcode
</address>
</div>
</div>
<hr />
<ul>
<li class="first">
<a href="#">more details</a>
</li>
</ul>
</div>
<div class="listing-break"></div>
<div class="primary-clear">
<p style="float:right; font-weight:bold">Tel: .</p>
<h2>xxNeed this Titlexx</h2>
<div class="data-clear">
<div>
<address>Address line 1
address line 2
Postcode
</address>
</div>
</div>
<hr />
<ul>
<li class="first">
<a href="#">more details</a>
</li>
</ul>
</div>
And so on....
Does anyone have any bright ideas? I've got as far as putting the
whole page into a string and ripping out the <head></headand other
stuff. It's looping through those DIVs and turning them into something
I can manipulate where I'm struggling.
Thanks in advance,
Tom
