Which does it pretty well except I need it to stop at a word in the middle and read no further.. the word is also higher up in the code, but the word I need it to stop at is in all caps.. the other instances are not.. also how could I strip out other pieces of code such as <head></head> and the like? can anybody help?
You could also use file_get_contents [uk2.php.net] to read your url into a string. As if fopen wrappers have been enabled they will work for both fopen and file_get_contents.
