help with some pattern

hi. I have a little problem. I'm trying to parse data from a site and I need some help.

I have a simililar html structure

<div>some content</div>

Code (markup):

and

<div><p>some content</p></div>

Code (markup):

What is the pattern so i can grabb some content if sometimes is between <p> tag and sometimes is not

Thx

 

what function are you using when grabbing the content?
ill start with your function

 

preg_match_all but i only need the pattern(regexp) parameter

 

$c = "<div>some content</div>";
$c .= "<div><p>some content</p></div>";

preg_match_all( '/<div>(?:<p>)?(.*?)(?:<\/p>)?<\/div>/ims', $c, $m);

print_r($m[1]);

PHP:

Will output:

Array
(
[0] => some content
[1] => some content
)

 

works fine. thx.
