How to parse and process HTML with PHP?

How would I go about getting a certain string from a webpage that has been scraped? I am using SimpleBrowser in PHP to download a webpage into a variable.

The resultant webpage at a certain part has the following:

    <tr>
        <td class="label" width="350">POD Receiver Name:&nbsp;</td>
        <td class="field" align="left">
            <b>KRISTY</b>&nbsp;
        </td>
    </tr>

I want to get the value KRISTY into a variable, but not really sure how. I have no real experience with regex so I wouldnt know where to start.

Any help appreciated!

To pull one specific part out from a known location, I'd use xpath. Try a tutorial such as http://ditio.net/2008/12/01/php-xpath-tutorial-advanced-xml-part-1/
