Regex to read Table Rows contents in Array - PHP - php

Question

Is there any Regex to Read the <td> contents from the following Table, note that there are many similar tables so i want only to read the following table contents.
I want to READ data from 3,4,5 TD from all <TR>
My regex looks like following but doesnt work
$match = preg_replace('~<td width="80" bgcolor="#F3F3E4" align="left"> <a onmouseout="ChangeImage(AE1,1)" onmouseover="ChangeImage(AE1,0)" href="/charts/livegold.html">GOLD</a></td>#[a-z0-9]{6}~i','',$match[3]);
echo '<table><tr>' . $match . '</tr></table>';
the table is as follows
<table width="540" cellspacing="1" cellpadding="0" border="0" align="center">
<tbody><tr>
<td width="16" bgcolor="#000000" align="center"> </td>
<td width="80" bgcolor="#000000" align="center"><font size="1" face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" color="#FFFFFF">www.kitco.com</font></td>

Here is the data i want to Extract

Answer 1

ok here is the solution with Regex:
$patt = "/<td[^>]*width=['\"]68['\"][^>]*>([0-9\.]+)<\/td>\s*<td[^>]*width=['\"]68['\"][^>]*>([0-9\.]+)<\/td>/i";
if(preg_match_all($patt, $html, $matches))
{
//print all records
//print_r($matches);
for($i=0; $i<count($matches[1]); $i++)
{
echo "Bid: ".$matches[1][$i].", Ask: ".$matches[2][$i]."\n";
}
}

Answer 2

You can use some HTML parser. For PHP there is one http://simplehtmldom.sourceforge.net/
Once the DOM has been loaded into library, get through the TABLE element and iterate through each TR element.
