I am trying to get a piece of content out of a website that shows the current status from the server. I did this by the `file_get_content` method. When I try to search through it, i used a `preg_match` to find the item i want, but it ends up with html tags i cant seem to correctly escape within the code. I get an error W`arning: preg_match() [function.preg-match]: Unknown modifier 'B'`. So how do I escape this? and further I missed probably a few functions, but I am not really familair with the RegEx.

```
$content = file_get_contents('http://www.swgemu.com/forums/content.php');   
$string = '<h3>Basilisk<\/h3><p>Status:<span class=\"online\">Online<\/span>';

if (preg_match($string , $content))
{ echo "The Basilisk server is online"; }
else
{ echo "The Basilisk server is offline";}

```

Thanks in advance.
