I think you left out the "?" sign before "isbn". Not sure if that's what you're getting at.

$file = file_get_contents("http://www.xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx.com/index.php?isbn=variablethatchanges");

yes i  have the get code right i just need help on GET part

 

all i am saying is how do i use the $_GET function to grab that variable from a local web sit eand then it grabs a title from the  distant web site

 

1)$GET  gets  the variable at the top of the page or inside another local server page

2)get() function uses 1) variable to get title from distant server  page

 

thanks in advance

How are you specifying the URL to put in file_get_contents? Are you not adding "isbn=variablethatchanges" manually? If it's dynamically, how is it being defined? Either way, you already have that value to begin with.
