Hi, Use something like: $handle = fopen ("http://www.yourdomainname.biz/file.html", "r"); do {
$data = fread($handle, 8192);
if (strlen($data) == 0) {
break;
}
$contents .= $data;
} while(true);
fclose ($handle); if(ereg("<!-- begin content -->(.*)<!-- end content -->", $contents, $out)){
echo $out[1];
}
else {
echo "No Match";
}

this works great for sites that are on my server, but i need to grab content off another site note:
the site i'm grabbing content from only accepts urls like
[site.com...]
OR
[site.com...] but with no file extentions

Try a Google search for 'php curl'. I was advised at Pubcon that the Curl library is the business for this kind of activity.

whos, as per your sticky...this should work, only prob i can see is if there's no <body> tag in the document it there wont be a $page[1] value. // Change these variables to suit
$pathtocurl = "curl";
$pageyouwanttograb = "http://www.yahoo.com";
$filetowriteto = "writetothisfile.txt"; exec("$pathtocurl $pageyouwanttograb",$page);
if(!count($page))
{
echo 'couldnt get page';
exit;
}
$page = preg_split("'<body[^>]+>'ims",implode("",$page));
$page = $page[1];
$fp = fopen($filetowriteto,"w");
fwrite($fp,$page);
fclose($fp); |
|
It will output "couldnt get page" if you have the wrong path to curl or the url you requested couldnt be reached.
