slpctrl Posted November 10, 2008 Share Posted November 10, 2008 Hello all, here's what I want to do: http://www.futuresboard.com/ The side panel with the stock info and: http://www.futuresboard.com/?ab=quotescharts That whole table. I want to use CURL in PHP to grab this information, and I really don't know how to grab a whole table, I really only know how to grab a single word. Can anyone help me to grab that information with regex and CURL? Any help would be GREATLY appreciated Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/132210-need-some-help-getting-some-info/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
slpctrl Posted November 10, 2008 Author Share Posted November 10, 2008 Btw: <?php $url = "http://www.futuresboard.com/index.php"; $ch = curl_init(); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL,$url); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER,1); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_VERBOSE, 1); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_USERAGENT, "Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8.1.6) Gecko/20070725 Firefox/2.0.0.6"); $result = curl_exec($ch); curl_close($ch); echo $result; ?> That's what I'm using, so all the HTML is obviosuly stored in the $result variable. I just can't extract that information from it .

ddrudik Posted November 12, 2008 Share Posted November 12, 2008 You just want the table? the table's not on that page, it appears to instead be at: http://sites3.barchart.com/pl/futuresboard/default.htx?ab=quotescharts After you curl that page, this regex pattern should remove most of the js code: <?php $sourcestring="your source string"; echo preg_replace('#^document\.write\(\'(?:<font color="\' \+ bcfn_GetColor.*)?|\\n.*$#m','',$sourcestring); ?> It's almost like they would you rather not scrape their site...
