First of all that's not valid XML. In order to parse it, it has to be
valid. This, however, is easily fixed in your case. Just put the whole
body in
With PHP, you have many options to parse XML with. My favorite and
probably the most easy is SimpleXML. Look at http://www.php.net/simplexml.

A very good site for regular expression help is
http://regular-expressions.info/ . It sounds as if you're looking for a
handout, and learning is better than copying. Post a sample that isn't
working for you, along with the output you're getting, and we can see
what's wrong with it.

Hi,
If you want to do it with regexpressions, you could try something like this.
Please note I do it in 2 steps, simply because I suck at regexp to do it
in 1 step.
Normally I do not respond to regexpression questions, because of the
abovementioned reason, but since you need it quickly, here it comes.
I tried with 'look behind' and 'look ahead' but of course that didn't
suceed in my case. :P
// get your data in a var. Just an example
$var='
$expr = '/\ id="[0-9]+"/';
preg_match_all($expr,$var,$results);
echo "";
";
print_r($results);
echo "
// results now contain an array with [0] => id="031" , [1] =>
id="233", [2] => id="31"
$allresultsStr = implode("",$results[0]) ;
// get the numbers out
preg_match_all('/[0-9]+/',$allresultsStr,$results2);
echo "";
";
print_r($results2);
echo "
?>

$xml = '
$document = new DomDocument;
$document->loadXML($xml);
$id_list = array();
foreach ($document->getElementsByTagName('category') as $category)
$id_list[] = $category->getAttribute('id');
print_r($id_list);
?>

It ain't well-formed either.

Ah, I learned something today. :-)
Here is one that works in 1 regex with lookbehind and ahead. :-)
$var='
$expr = '/(?<=\sid=")\d+(?=")/';
preg_match_all($expr,$var,$results);
echo "";
";
print_r($results[0]);
echo "
?>
