I’m scraping an HTML page and need to extract the text inside a div with class “comment_body”. My code prints out an empty array. I seem to not know how to handle newlines.
<?php
$html = '<div class="comment_body">That\'s what I was thinking, Tight. The \'Noooo\' is the only way to add a funny narrative. It\'s in \'big\' pixels so I can\'t create an meaningful expression and it\'s practically impossible to do anything else without distrupting the whole concept. I think the \'Nooo\' works, anyway. I\'ve done it in pixels to the width of the snake, so it fits withing the grid.<br />
<br />
I know exclaimation marks can look a bit cheap, but I think the two work in this context.</div>';
preg_match_all('#class="comment_body">([.
]*)<\/div>#', $html, $found);
print_r($found);
?>
