cURL?

[Cragsterboy]

ok ive got a html page which has a table on it and i want my script to get the text from the table, not the html and keep it in the same format and then create it into a string.

 

how do i do this? with cURL? or is it possible?

 

Thanks,

You wont need curl unless you need to login. Take a look at file_get_contents and preg_match.

ok im using file_gets_contents but it makes it all on top of each other, you can see it here:

as you can see im trying to turn the text into an image, the image im using now isnt going to be the proper one just a test one.

 

Heres my script so far:

<?php

    ob_start();
    include('output.html');
    $text = ob_get_contents();
    ob_end_clean();

// Create a 300x100 image
$im = imagecreatefromgif('images/body.gif');


// Path to our ttf font file
$font_file = './arial.ttf';

// Draw the text 'PHP Manual' using font size 13
imagefttext($im, 13, 0, 105, 55, $black, $font_file, $text);

// Output image to the browser
header('Content-Type: image/png');

imagepng($im);

imagedestroy($im);


?>

 

 

how would i stop it from outputing all on one line?

 

Thanks,
