Let's say I want to extract some news-items from the www.CNN.com web
page (If you visit CNN's page, you can see the 'MORE NEWS' block at the
right side).
I know how to extract the news-items (or any other data in the page)
using regular expressions, but I wonder if there are other ways.

Can you be more specific here? This is awfully broad.

If all you want is to "parse" HTML code, then you could treat it as
XML, of course, that would assume that the sites are all well XHTML
formed. Other than that, I can only thing on PCRE.

I assure you that I am not trying to circumvent google's anything. I'm
trying to provide a HTML translation page tool for some of my visitors where
they will provide there own URL and a translation of some keywords will be
done for them. Thats all.
I never actually was going to flaunt googles term

I did a search and I remebered that I have previously seen some of your
work. In particlar your guide to CMS in evolt.org. Which I think is
absolutely wonderful. Thankyou for your help and I hope that I haven't gone
to far with my disingenuous comment posting.

Dear Jay,
I have now had a look in the FM and whilst it does help if you know how to
use regular expressions I think that you are being a little disingenuous.
Having to parse the HTML is more complicated than is suggest in your reply.

The tools for you to execute the regular expression are there for you in
the manual. The actual regular expression that you're looking for is
not a php issue. And I can't say that I'm totally convinced that you're
still not trying to circumvent google's TOS.

What; nobody has anything to say about parsing HTML and doing search and
replaces!! Is there another news group that might be better suited? I do
want to do it PHP if I hadn't made that clear.

Are you looking at the site the calling script is on? I had the same problem
spidering my site to build a search engine. Using "http://localhost/";
instead of the site address got it working.
I find that file() works fine on external pages but falls over (in exactly
the same way as yours) when ac
