Deanznet Posted May 27, 2008 Share Posted May 27, 2008 Is it possible for someone to enter a url such as http://google.com in a text box and hit submit and have it automatically take a picture? If so any tutorials? Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/107514-how-to-do-this/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

unidox Posted May 27, 2008 Share Posted May 27, 2008 I am thinking he wants something like whois.sc where it takes a thumbnail of the website that the person is looking up.

Taorluath Posted May 27, 2008 Share Posted May 27, 2008 Kind of along the same lines: Is there some kind of way I could read the html of a website from a php script? Like for example, it could tell me the alternate text on the google logo at google.com. You know, like if it was some holiday, the alt text for the image would be different. Could a php script do that? Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/107514-how-to-do-this/#findComment-551146 Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueSkyIS Posted May 27, 2008 Share Posted May 27, 2008 yes. done all the time. i'd use curl functions to pull down the html, then regular expressions to find what i was looking for. or maybe fopen() instead of curl. depending on complexity.

Deanznet Posted May 28, 2008 Author Share Posted May 28, 2008 Ya basically Its for a myspace layout site where people can submit their own layout. But instead of them taking pictures i want them to be able to enter the url of the myspace layout such as myspace.com/324232 and it automatically takes a picture.
