copied!<p>It (from a quick glance) is because you are trying to match:</p> <pre><code>Last Login: 11/14/2009 </code></pre> <p>With this regex:</p> <pre><code>Last([a-zA-Z0-9\s\.\-\',]*) </code></pre> <p>The regex doesn't contain the required characters of <code>:</code> and <code>/</code> which are included in the text string. Changing the required part of the regex to:</p> <pre><code>Last([a-zA-Z0-9\s\.\-\',:/]*) </code></pre> <p>Gives a match <br /></p> <p>Would it be better to simply use a <a href="http://simplehtmldom.sourceforge.net/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">DOM parser</a>, and then preform the regex on the result of the DOM lookup? It makes for nicer regex...</p> <p><strong>EDIT</strong></p> <p>The other issue is that your HTML is:</p> <p>...40%' align='right'class='SmallDimmedText'>...</p> <p>Where there is no space between align='right' and class='SmallDimmedText'</p> <p>However your regex for that section is:</p> <p>...40%\' align=\'right\' class=\'SmallDimmedText\'>...</p> <p>Where it is indicated there is a space.</p> <p><strong>Use a DOM Parser</strong> It will save you more headaches caused by subtle bugs than you can count.</p> <p>Just to give you an idea on how simple it is to parse using Simple HTML DOM.</p> <pre><code>$html = str_get_html(...); $elems = $html->find('.SmallDimmedText'); if ( count($elems->children()) != 1 ){ throw new Exception('Too many/few elements found'); } $text = $elems->children(0)->plaintext; //parsing here is only an example, but you have removed all //the html so that any regex used is really simple. $date = substr($text, strlen('Last Login: ')); $unixTime = strtotime($date); </code></pre>
