Given, say, a recipe (list of ingredients, steps, etc.) in free text form, how could I parse that in such a way I can pull out the ingredients (e.g. quantity, unit of measurements, ingredient name, etc.) usin PHP?

Assume that the free text is somewhat formatted.

To do it 'properly', you need to define some sort of grammar, and then maybe use a LALR parser or some tools such as yacc, bison or Lex to build a parser. Assuming you dont want to do that, its strpos() ftw!
