Curl and webpages

[graham23s]

Hi Guys,

 

I have been messing about with the curl functions and am quite impressed with the easiness of using curl, im writing a tiny search engine, but is there a way using curl to actually read the web page code? i.e toi get the information between the sites <title> tags for example? or would i need to use curl then another way to get the information?

 

thanks guys

Once you have fetched the page contents, use regular expression to extract its data. eg: <TITLE>,<META>,etc. See my tutorial on how to do this:
