[SOLVED] Opening Multiple Files/Links in Order.

[Modernvox]

 

I want to open links in order/one-by-one and check each for a specific string.

 

Example:

If i open CL, search for ads pertaining to video games.  Returns 20 results. I grab these links. Now i want to open each of these links one-by-one to see if an email address is included.

 

As of now i am able to retrieve the links, but need to know how to parse them one-by-one to check the email address.

I will then either copy the address or immediately return back to the list of links if the address is non-existent.

 

So here's my current code for this process thus far.

 <?php  
    function curlURL($url) {  
        $curl = curl_init();  
        curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_URL, $url);  
        curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);  
        curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_USERAGENT, 'Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8.1.2) Gecko/20070219 Firefox/2.0.0.2');  
        $output = curl_exec($curl);  
            return $output;  
    }  
     
   $curlResults = curlURL("http://southcoast.craigslist.org/sss/");  
   $pattern = '#<a href="(/[a-z]{3}/\d{10}\.html)">#';
   preg_match_all( $pattern, $curlResults, $matches);

echo "<pre>\n";
echo "Links:\n\n";
foreach ($matches[1] as $link):
   echo "\t" . '<a href="' . $link . '" target="_BLANK">' . $link . '</a>' . "\n";
endforeach;
echo '</pre>';


?>

I would like to reiterate this question by asking How do i open the first link from a list of links?
