It (from a quick glance) is because you are trying to match:
Last Login: 11/14/2009
With this regex:
Last([a-zA-Z0-9\s\.\-\',]*)
The regex doesn't contain the required characters of :
and /
which are included in the text string. Changing the required part of the regex to:
Last([a-zA-Z0-9\s\.\-\',:/]*)
Gives a match
Would it be better to simply use a DOM parser, and then preform the regex on the result of the DOM lookup? It makes for nicer regex...
EDIT
The other issue is that your HTML is:
...40%' align='right'class='SmallDimmedText'>...
Where there is no space between align='right' and class='SmallDimmedText'
However your regex for that section is:
...40%\' align=\'right\' class=\'SmallDimmedText\'>...
Where it is indicated there is a space.
Use a DOM Parser It will save you more headaches caused by subtle bugs than you can count.
Just to give you an idea on how simple it is to parse using Simple HTML DOM.
$html = str_get_html(...);
$elems = $html->find('.SmallDimmedText');
if ( count($elems->children()) != 1 ){
throw new Exception('Too many/few elements found');
}
$text = $elems->children(0)->plaintext;
//parsing here is only an example, but you have removed all
//the html so that any regex used is really simple.
$date = substr($text, strlen('Last Login: '));
$unixTime = strtotime($date);
