Answer 1

You've heard already about not using regex for the job, so I won't talk about that. Let's try something here. Perhaps not the ideal solution, but could work for you.

    <?php
       $data = 'your table';
       preg_match ('|<td align="left">(.*)mph</td>|Usi', $data, $result);
       print_r($result);  // Your result shoud be in here

You could need some trimming or taking whitespaces into account in the regex.
