No this is not some shaddy game or strip poker knock-off.  My question has to 
do with a person project I have started.  I have a script that grabs names and 
ids from a database, puts them in an array and then based on that grabs a URL 
and parses that URL for this name, drops all the html crap, and takes the 
information/stats and insert or updates the stats table.  Problem is on 
certain names the page that it is parsing is different, and so I get loads and 
loads of extra HTML, and one name in particular doesnt return all the stats.

More detail is:


###################################################################
CODE
$start=$name;
$end='</td></tr>';
$start_position=strpos($myLine, $start);
$end_position=strpos($myLine, $end)+strlen($end);
$length=$end_position-$start_position; 
$myLine=substr($myLine, $start_position, $length);
$myLine=str_replace("</a>","",$myLine);
$myLine=str_replace("</td><td class='content'>","|",$myLine);
$stats=explode("|", $myLine);
############################################################################

I write all this to log what it is getting back and that is how I know that 
basically on some of these names its return the full page.

I'm really at a loss, anyone have any ideas?
