I'm trying to use preg_replace to get some data from a remote page, but I'm having a bit of an issue when it comes to sorting out the pattern.

function getData($Url){
$str = file_get_contents($Url);
if(strlen($str)>0){
    preg_match("/\<span class=\"SectionHeader\"\>title\</span>/<br/>/\<div class=\"header2\"\>(.*)\</div\></span\>/",$str,$title);
    return $title[1];
} }

Here's the HTML as is before I ended up throwing a million slashes at it (looks like I forgot a part or two):

<span class="cell CellFullWidth"><span class="SectionHeader">mytitle</span><br/><div class="Center">Event Name</div></span>

Where Event Name is the data I want to return in my function.

Thanks a lot guys, this is a pain in the ass.
