Knal,

Check out http://www.php.net/manual/en/book.dom.php. PHP's DOM can be a
bit complicated at first, but you can catch on. Despite the comments,
it works with HTML, also. And it will be a whole lot easier than trying
to parse HTML yourself.

If the HTML is well-formed, you might try the simpleXML extension
(http://www.php.net/manual/en/book.simplexml.php), but I've found it
doesn't deal well with malformed input; the DOM extension does much better.

P.S. Don't mind "Pointed Head". He's just being his usual pedantic
self. He gets this way when someone asks a question he doesn't
understand (which seems to be pretty often).
