Extract Content Between Style Tags with Preg and PHP

[ameshkin]

This script I wrote works with tables, td's and div's, but not with
style tags. Can anyone figure out the regular expression for finding
<styletags. The trick is that sometimes its not just <style Its
<style type="text/css">

Basically, i want to take the information in between the style content
from any url

<?php

$url = "http://www.anyurlwithstyletags.com";
$html = file_get_contents($url);

//preg_match_all("/<style.*style>/", $html, $matches);
preg_match_all("/<div.*div>/", $html, $matches);
//preg_match_all("/[\s]*[<style>][\s]*[\w]*[\s]*[<\\style>][\s]*/",
$string, $matches);
//preg_match_all("/(\<[
\\n\\r\\t]{0,}style[^>]*\>|\<[^>]*[\\n\\r\\t]{1,}style[^>]*\>){1}([^<]*<([^(\/>)]*(\/[^(t>)]){0,1}(\/t[^(r>)]){0,1})*>)*(\<[
\\n\\r\\t]{0,}\/tr[^>]*\>|\<[^>]*[\\n\\r\\t]{1,}\/style[^>]*\>){1}/i",
$html, $Matches);

foreach($matches[0] as $div) {
echo $div;

}

?>

This should point you in the right direction...

<?php
preg_match('/<style(.*)?>(.*)?<\/style>/', $html, $match);
print $match[2];
?>

I'm afraid this did not work, but I will keep trying to tweak it and se
if i can get it to work.

Regular expressions have to be one of the hardest parts of php!!! i
really really dohn't like it!
