How Can I load a specific DIV from an external webpage, into a specific DIV of my website?

Question

I Want to load a Specific Div of an external webpage into a specific Div (No iframe) Of my own website. for example: I have a div like this in my own website:

<div id="weather-status"> Weather Status </div>

I have this site too: http://www.timeanddate.com/weather/ and I want to load a table from this site (http://www.timeanddate.com/weather/) into my div (Weather Status) How Can I Do This?

@Arif: No, I need `table` data & Design. Exactly a position of a webpage that starts with specific `table` or `div`. So `div` might be instead of the `table` and The `div` or `table` element might have `id` or not. — Meghdad Hadidi, Nov 17 '11 at 08:27

<?php
   $url = "http://www.timeanddate.com/weather/";
   $page_all = file_get_contents($url); 

   preg_match('#<table class="border2 lpad wa">(.*)</table>#ms', $page_all, $div_array);


   echo "<pre>";
   print_r($div_array[0]);
   echo "</pre>";
?>

With the following CSS :

.wa {
    margin: 0 auto;
}

.border2 {
    background: none repeat scroll 0 0 #D7D6DC;
}

.lpad tr td {
    padding: 0.2em;
}

@Meghdad Hadidi which version of php do you use? – Ariful Islam Nov 17 '11 at 08:43
I'm using php 5.3.8 and it is running well – Ariful Islam Nov 17 '11 at 08:49
`PHP Version 5.1.4` I will test this code on an online host now. – Meghdad Hadidi Nov 17 '11 at 08:50
Cool! Worked very nice my friend, but before the table, it prints following code: `Array ( [0] => Array ( [0] => ` – Meghdad Hadidi Nov 17 '11 at 08:59
your previous solution worked well, but i want to do that for another website, so how can I write a true pattern for `preg_match` to extract what I want? – Meghdad Hadidi Feb 06 '12 at 05:49
For example: www.something.com/show.php?n=2564 and I want to extract a div with `class='someclass'`, how can I do this – Meghdad Hadidi Feb 06 '12 at 05:56
