I've never had good luck with this function. I first learned how to
(sorta) use it from looking at other code. It worked fine when I made a
meta search engine, but when I tried on expanding on it, well, I've
started losing hair. =) Here's the scenario:
I'm trying to parse results from Yahoo's People Search page, to "grab"
the info from it. A specific link in the results contains all the info I
need for each entry. A link from one such entry looks like this:
psPhoneEntry.py?firstname=Adam&lastname=Collier&street=3912+Foley+Glen+Cir&city=Fenton&state=MI&zip=48430-3435&phone=8107507456
My matching pattern looks like this:
$engreg =
'/psPhoneEntry.py?firstname=(.*?)&lastname=(.*?)&street=(.*?)&city=(.*?)&state=(.*?)&zip=(.*?)&phone=(.*?)\">/i';
Note the "/" at the beginning, and "/i" at the end. those have always
been there in other projects, and have worked. Is there anything else
I'm doing wrong here? I dont get any errors, but it returns 0 matches.
