HI, i am working on a project that includes HTML parsing, I want to parse the contents of a certain <div> tag. I have a parsing function to return the text between two strings using PHP functions, the problem is that inside that <div> there is another <div> so if I write
that will return the till the end of that inside div, becouse if the first closing div the program finds, not the closing of the main div. so i think that the solution lies in regex, could anyone give me an idea of how to write that expression, since i am not well trained on them.

Thank You !

Regex is not good for this kind of text parsing. Use the tools that exist specifically for purposes like this: DOMDocument being the most notable.

Use a combination of getElementById(), getElementsByTagName(), and regular node traversal (like "this node's second child node") to get to where you need.
