php screen scrape

I've been using a few different solutions and scripts I've wrote and acquired but I want something really simple to go to a page foo.html and store the contents from <foo1> to <foo2> as a variable so I can echo it.

Did that make sense?

this works?

Code:

<?php
$foo = file_get_contents("http://forums.overclockers.co.uk");
echo $foo;
?>

Say I only wanted the line under General Hardware?

i.e.
