note 46790 added to function.preg-match

Here is a faster way of extracting a special phrase from a HTML page: Instead of using preg_match, e.g. like this: preg_match("/<title>(.*)<\/title>/i", $html_content, $match); use the following: <?php function ExtractString($str, $start, $end) { $str_low = strtolower($str); if (strpos($str_low, $start) !== false && strpos($str_lower, $end) !== false) { $pos1 = strpos($str_low, $start) + strlen($start); $pos2 = strpos($str_low, $end) - $pos1; return substr($str, $pos1, $pos2); } } $match = ExtractString($html_content, "<title>", "</title>"); ?> ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.preg-match.php Edit -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+46790 Delete -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+46790&report=yes Reason: bad code -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+46790&report=yes&reason=bad+code Reason: spam -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+46790&report=yes&reason=spam Reason: useless example -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+46790&report=yes&reason=useless+example Reason: contains commercial links -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+46790&report=yes&reason=contains+commercial+links Reason: useless note -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+46790&report=yes&reason=useless+note Reject -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+46790&report=yes Search -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
