From what I have found elsewhere I think I will need to use a regular
expression but can anyone point me in the right direction as to exactly how I would go about this? Something like the following: <?php if( preg_match( '/div class="msgarea"(.*)\\/div/Uims', $content, $bits ) ) {
    print_r( $bits );
} ?>

Cheers - that did the trick. Alan
