Parsing HTML can be quite a chore... Since HTML is primarily a presentation markup language, the syntax makes data extraction a bit of a challenge. Tags may not be well-balanced, a tag like <b> doesn't really provide data context, etc.

Your best bet is to use an existing library, such as PHP Simple HTML DOM Parser.
