I have some HTML code and I'm trying to extract some text between the HTML tags with preg_match. I have the following regular expression string: $regex = "/class=\"BVRRReviewText description\">[[:alnum:][:punct:][:word:]\s]+<\/span>/"; This is one of the matches that comes back. (I'm trying to retrieve the text in between the tags) class="BVRRReviewText description">Bought this hat as a gift for two men. The fit was very snug for one of them, and too small for the other. Might work for a child.</span><span class="BVRRReviewTextSuffix">"</span> Why does it stop at the second </span> and not the first. I've tried multiple methods and haven't got it to work. Also, is it possible to return just the text without the HTML tags? Thanks.

Hello everyone. I have a script which opens a remote file, downloads it into a buffer and then sends it out to the user. At the moment, I'm using fopen() to retrieve the remote file. Everything works correctly, except when the user requests a range of the file. To do this, I tried fseek() but the problem is that fseek() does not work with remote files and gives me an error. Is there any other way I can go about doing this? Thanks.

Hello everyone. I have a problem with some of my php script. I have some php code that downloads a remote file and directly outputs it to the user. It works and all, it's just that when I do it on my Ubuntu LAMP server, downloading a file takes up a lot of ram. On my Windows WAMP server it works correctly and doesn't use up so much ram. Is this a problem with my code, or is it a server configuration? Below is the code I use to download the file. public function output_file($file, $name, $mime_type='', $size) { session_write_close(); /* This function takes a path to a file to output ($file), the filename that the browser will see ($name) and the MIME type of the file ($mime_type, optional). If you want to do something on download abort/finish, register_shutdown_function('function_name'); */ if(is_readable($file)) die('File not found or inaccessible!'); /* $size = $size; $name = rawurldecode($name); */ /* Figure out the MIME type (if not specified) */ $known_mime_types=array( "pdf" => "application/pdf", "txt" => "text/plain", "html" => "text/html", "htm" => "text/html", "exe" => "application/octet-stream", "zip" => "application/zip", "doc" => "application/msword", "xls" => "application/vnd.ms-excel", "ppt" => "application/vnd.ms-powerpoint", "gif" => "image/gif", "png" => "image/png", "jpeg"=> "image/jpg", "jpg" => "image/jpg", "php" => "text/plain" ); if($mime_type==''){ $file_extension = strtolower(substr(strrchr($file,"."),1)); if(array_key_exists($file_extension, $known_mime_types)){ $mime_type=$known_mime_types[$file_extension]; } else { $mime_type="application/x-rar-compressed"; }; }; @ob_end_clean(); //turn off output buffering to decrease cpu usage // required for IE, otherwise Content-Disposition may be ignored if(ini_get('zlib.output_compression')) ini_set('zlib.output_compression', 'Off'); header('Content-Type: ' . $mime_type); header('Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="'.$name.'"'); header("Content-Transfer-Encoding: binary"); header('Accept-Ranges: bytes'); /* The three lines below basically make the download non-cacheable */ header("Cache-control: no-cache"); //header('Pragma: private'); // header("Expires: Mon, 26 Jul 1997 05:00:00 GMT"); // multipart-download and download resuming support if(isset($_SERVER['HTTP_RANGE'])) { list($a, $range) = explode("=",$_SERVER['HTTP_RANGE'],2); list($range) = explode(",",$range,2); list($range, $range_end) = explode("-", $range); $range=intval($range); if(!$range_end) { $range_end=$size-1; } else { $range_end=intval($range_end); } $new_length = $range_end-$range+1; header("HTTP/1.1 206 Partial Content"); header("Content-Length: $new_length"); header("Content-Range: bytes $range-$range_end/$size"); } else { $new_length=$size; header("Content-Length: ".$size); } /* output the file itself */ $chunksize = 1*(1024)*(1024); //you may want to change this $bytes_send = 0; if ($file = fopen($file, 'r')) { if(isset($_SERVER['HTTP_RANGE'])) fseek($file, $range); while(!feof($file) && (!connection_aborted()) && ($bytes_send<$new_length) ) { $buffer = fread($file, $chunksize); print($buffer); //echo($buffer); // is also possible flush(); $bytes_send += strlen($buffer); } fclose($file); } else die('Error - can not open file.'); die(); } // END OUTPUT_FILE function

Would readfile work for rapidshare files? If I input a link into readfile and then give it off to the user, but they can't see the rapidshare link.

Hello everyone, I have a question. I'm trying to figure out a way to make it so that when a user visits a page for a certain file, they are given the file to download but can't see the link to that file. Example: There is a file on http://serverB.com/file.rar A person goes to http://serverA.com/?file=file.rar They can download http://serverB.com/file.rar without seeing the link to that file. Is there any way to do this? Thanks.
