php preg_replace, regexp
- by Michael
I'm trying to extract the postal codes from yell.com using php and preg_replace.
I successfully extracted the postal code but only along with the address. Here is an example
$URL = "http://www.yell.com/ucs/UcsSearchAction.do?scrambleSeed=17824062&keywords=shop&layout=&companyName=&location=London&searchType=advance&broaderLocation=&clarifyIndex=0&clarifyOptions=CLOTHES+SHOPS|CLOTHES+SHOPS+-+LADIES|&ooa=&M=&ssm=1&lCOption32=RES|CLOTHES+SHOPS+-+LADIES&bandedclarifyResults=1";
//get yell.com page in a string
$htmlContent = $baseClass-getContent($URL);
//get postal code along with the address
$result2 = preg_match_all("/(.*)/", $htmlContent, $matches);
print_r($matches);
The above code ouputs something like
Array ( [0] = Array ( [0] = 7, Royal Parade, Chislehurst, Kent BR7 6NR [1] = 55, Monmouth St, London, WC2H 9DG .... the problem that I have is that I don't know how to extract the the postal code because it doesn't have an exact number of digits (sometimes it has 6 digits and sometimes has only 5 times). Basically I should extract the lasted 2 words from each array .
Thank you in advance for any help !
