    <p>You absolutely do NOT want to parse HTML with Regex.</p> <p>There are far too many variations, for one, and more importantly, regex isn't very good with the hierarchal nature of HTML. It's best to use an XML parser or better-yet an HTML-specific parser.</p> <p>Whenever I need to scrape HTML, I tend to use the <a href="http://simplehtmldom.sourceforge.net/" rel="noreferrer">Simple HTML DOM Parser</a> library, which takes an HTML tree and parses it into a traversable PHP object, which you can query something like JQuery.</p> <pre><code>&lt;?php require 'simplehtmldom/simple_html_dom.php'; $sHtml = &lt;&lt;&lt;EOS &lt;table border="1" &gt; &lt;tbody style="" &gt; &lt;tr style="" &gt; &lt;td style="color:blue;"&gt; data0 &lt;/td&gt; &lt;td style="font-size:15px;"&gt; data1 &lt;/td&gt; &lt;td style="font-size:15px;"&gt; data2 &lt;/td&gt; &lt;td style="color:blue;"&gt; data3 &lt;/td&gt; &lt;td style="color:blue;"&gt; data4 &lt;/td&gt; &lt;/tr&gt; &lt;tr style="" &gt; &lt;td style="color:blue;"&gt; data00 &lt;/td&gt; &lt;td style="font-size:15px;"&gt; data11 &lt;/td&gt; &lt;td style="font-size:15px;"&gt; data22 &lt;/td&gt; &lt;td style="color:blue;"&gt; data33 &lt;/td&gt; &lt;td style="color:blue;"&gt; data44 &lt;/td&gt; &lt;/tr&gt; &lt;tr style="color:black" &gt; &lt;td style="color:blue;"&gt; data000 &lt;/td&gt; &lt;td style="font-size:15px;"&gt; data111 &lt;/td&gt; &lt;td style="font-size:15px;"&gt; data222 &lt;/td&gt; &lt;td style="color:blue;"&gt; data333 &lt;/td&gt; &lt;td style="color:blue;"&gt; data444 &lt;/td&gt; &lt;/tr&gt; &lt;/tbody&gt; &lt;/table&gt; EOS; $oHTML = str_get_html($sHtml); $oTRs = $oHTML-&gt;find('table tr'); $aData = array(); foreach($oTRs as $oTR) { $aRow = array(); $oTDs = $oTR-&gt;find('td'); foreach($oTDs as $oTD) { $aRow[] = trim($oTD-&gt;plaintext); } $aData[] = $aRow; } var_dump($aData); ?&gt; </code></pre> <p>And the output:</p> <pre><code>array 0 =&gt; array 0 =&gt; string 'data0' (length=5) 1 =&gt; string 'data1' (length=5) 2 =&gt; string 'data2' (length=5) 3 =&gt; string 'data3' (length=5) 4 =&gt; string 'data4' (length=5) 1 =&gt; array 0 =&gt; string 'data00' (length=6) 1 =&gt; string 'data11' (length=6) 2 =&gt; string 'data22' (length=6) 3 =&gt; string 'data33' (length=6) 4 =&gt; string 'data44' (length=6) 2 =&gt; array 0 =&gt; string 'data000' (length=7) 1 =&gt; string 'data111' (length=7) 2 =&gt; string 'data222' (length=7) 3 =&gt; string 'data333' (length=7) 4 =&gt; string 'data444' (length=7) </code></pre>

COSuggested third party alternatives to [SimpleHtmlDom](http://simplehtmldom.sourceforge.net/) that actually use [DOM](http://php.net/manual/en/book.dom.php) instead of String Parsing: [phpQuery](http://code.google.com/p/phpquery/), [Zend_Dom](http://framework.zend.com/manual/en/zend.dom.html), [QueryPath](http://querypath.org/) and [FluentDom](http://www.fluentdom.org).

Querying!

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.

SQuiL has stopped working due to an internal error.

If you are curious you may find further information in the browser console, which is accessible through the devtools (F12).
