sungo Posted June 23, 2006 Share Posted June 23, 2006 Hi there, I am wondering about searching through a websites content and snipping such things as news out to be displayed on my website. I'm someone new to php so I looked around for some scripts to tinker with. The only one I could find was:[code]<?php$url = 'http://txt.lyricz.info/test.cgi/rip/dan.txt';$lines_array = file($url);$lines_string = implode('', $lines_array);eregi("<pre>(.*)</pre>", $lines_string, $head);$lines = split("\n", $head[0]);$x = count($lines);for ($i=0;$i<$x;$i++) { echo $lines[$i]; echo "\n"; }?>[/code]As far as I can see all this does is look at the source of $url and clip out the stuff in between < pre> and < /pre>. The one problem with this is that < pre> and < /pre> are still included in the snippit. Also I cannot seem to get this code to work for other variations other then html tags (ie: < pre>, < center>, < head>;, < body>, etc.). I was wondering if there was a better way to go about searching through a websites content and snipping out a bit of info to be displayed elsewhere? Ideally I would like to be able to snip between things such as, " ?sn= " and " '); "Thanks in advance! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
