[thelist] condensing 4 regexes to 1?

[der wert]

you use selectors "(abc)(def)(ghi)"

code:

<?php

$myurl = "http://maps.google.co.uk/maps?q=ab106qr&output=js";

$myhtml = getURL($myurl);

$pattern = '/center: \{lat: ([-]?[0-9]{1,3}\.[0-9]{6}),lng: 
([-]?[0-9]{1,3}\.[0-9]{6})/';

preg_match($pattern, $myhtml , $matches);
/*print_r($matches);*/
echo "latitude: ".$matches[1]." longitude: ".$matches[2];


function getURL($popped){
$fail = "failed";
$remote = @fopen ($popped, "rb");
if (!$remote){
     print($popped." FAILED");
     return $fail;
     }

else{
     $html = "";
     do {
         $data = fread($remote, 8192);
         if (strlen($data) == 0) {
             break;
         }
         $html .= $data;
         } while(true);
     fclose ($remote);
     return $html;
     }
}

?>
