Hey, you may use the date function, a reference: PHP: date - Manual

            <table class=com cellspacing=0 cellpadding=0>             
                            <tr><td width=31 align=right><?php echo date("H:i");?>
                            <td width=36 align=right style='padding:0'>NORMAL</tr>                  </table>

This will display 24 hour time with the leading zeros, i.e. 00:42 or 23:50

How to get time with preg in PHP?

[Alexander]

In that case, it would look something like this (although it is not the best way to extract information from HTML). Note I have allowance for AM or PM in both cases:

<?php
$htmlstring = "            <table class=com cellspacing=0 cellpadding=0>
            <tr><td width=31 align=right>15:30
                <td width=36 align=right style='padding:0'>NORMAL

            </tr>

            </table>";
            
preg_match('/.*?((?:(?:[0-1][0-9])|(?:[2][0-3])|(?:[0-9])):(?:[0-5][0-9])(?::[0-5][0-9])?(?:\\s?(?:am|AM|pm|PM))?)/', $htmlstring, $time);
 
print "Time from HTML is " . $time[1];

For DOM manipulation I would recommend SimpleXML or DOM. Really bad HTML by the way...

Thank you Alexander, you are best

Alexander, I need a preg_match code for get Date, for example this date: 2011-02-09

			<table class=com cellspacing=0 cellpadding=0>

			<tr><td width=31 align=right>2011-02-09

			    <td width=36 align=right style='padding:0'>NORMAL


			</tr>


			</table>

If it is your wish to use regular expressions, this is an expression to match the date in YYYY-MM-DD format.

$htmlstring = '.... 2011-02-09 ....';
preg_match('/((?:(?:[1]{1}\\d{1}\\d{1}\\d{1})|(?:[2]{1}\\d{3}))[-:\\/.](?:[0]?[1-9]|[1][012])[-:\\/.](?:(?:[0-2]?\\d{1})|(?:[3][0,1]{1})))(?![\\d])/is', $htmlstring, $date);
print "The date: " . $date[1];

You'd probably have to use regular expressions on this HTML since it's broken. Browsers will fix the code for you using a "best guess" scenario, however when viewing the source it's raw and when viewing a td that is left open will probably get more than you asked for.

That is why you should generally parse the HTML through an HTML tidy before working with pure DOM trees.
