PHP preg_match() get javascript content

Question

I am working on a data scraping project and I need to extract some data from the script tag inside a html page

<script type="text/javascript">
jQuery(document).ready( function(){
    new Equator.dataTable.loadEQDataTable( '33F6AC0950569B89A6D81D719B651143', '/proxy/ajaxproxy.cfc?method=process&event=property.getWorkflowByTask&marshalType=dataTable&sListColumns=EVENT_NAME,ADDRESS_1,CITY,STATE,POSTAL_CODE,status_value,ROLE_DISPLAY,LENDERNAME,OPEN_DATE,DUEDATE&nTargetID=17801&nIsOpen=2&sEventType=form,form_html,rfi', '9', 'asc', 'true', 'true', 'index.cfm?event=property.getWorkflowByTask&sListColumns=EVENT_NAME,ADDRESS_1,CITY,STATE,POSTAL_CODE,status_value,ROLE_DISPLAY,LENDERNAME,OPEN_DATE,DUEDATE&sListLabels=Task,Address,City,State,Zip,Status,Role,Servicer,Opened,Due/Completed&sListExcelColumns=EVENT_NAME,ADDRESS_1,CITY,STATE,POSTAL_CODE,status_value,ROLE_DISPLAY,LENDERNAME,OPEN_DATE,DUEDATE&sListExcelLabels=Task,Address,City,State,Zip,Status,Role,Servicer,Opened,Due/Completed&bExcel=true&nTargetID=17801&nIsOpen=2&sEventType=form,form_html,rfi&iSortCol_0=9&sSortDir_0=asc', '', '25', 'false', '',false, true, '');
    });
</script>

In which I need to extract

/proxy/ajaxproxy.cfc?method=process&event=property.getWorkflowByTask&marshalType=dataTable&sListColumns=EVENT_NAME,ADDRESS_1,CITY,STATE,POSTAL_CODE,status_value,ROLE_DISPLAY,LENDERNAME,OPEN_DATE,DUEDATE&nTargetID=17801&nIsOpen=2&sEventType=form,form_html,rfi', '9', 'asc', 'true', 'true', 'index.cfm?event=property.getWorkflowByTask&sListColumns=EVENT_NAME,ADDRESS_1,CITY,STATE,POSTAL_CODE,status_value,ROLE_DISPLAY,LENDERNAME,OPEN_DATE,DUEDATE&sListLabels=Task,Address,City,State,Zip,Status,Role,Servicer,Opened,Due/Completed&sListExcelColumns=EVENT_NAME,ADDRESS_1,CITY,STATE,POSTAL_CODE,status_value,ROLE_DISPLAY,LENDERNAME,OPEN_DATE,DUEDATE&sListExcelLabels=Task,Address,City,State,Zip,Status,Role,Servicer,Opened,Due/Completed&bExcel=true&nTargetID=17801&nIsOpen=2&sEventType=form,form_html,rfi&iSortCol_0=9&sSortDir_0=asc

You can get the second parameter with:

preg_match_all("/'(.*?)'/", $script, $m);
echo $m[1][1];

But also like to know is there a way to extract that particular line alone and do this. Because now I am getting all the parameters with in braces and when the other content of the site changes and if the number of braces change then the array index would change do you got any solution for this. Like extracting that line and getting the parameters.

I suppose you would just be more specific with the regex.
