Parsing info from website


Lustre

Recommended Posts

Hey, I'm new here.

 

I need some help with parsing info from a website. The website contains lots of links like

 

<span style="cursor:pointer" onclick="window.open('member.php?u=10362489002', '_self')">

 

And I want to find get the ID of each member from all of the links. (in the code above: 10362489002)

This is the code I got so far, which does not return anything

 

<?php
$d = file_get_contents('http://url_here.com');
preg_match_all('/member.php?u=([0-9]+)"\'/', $d, $ma);

var_dump($ma);
?>

 

How should I make the pattern? thanks :)

You can use GET function

 

$member= $_GET["u"];

That will = 10362489002

 

Then you can select your database

 

("SELECT * FROM table WHERE id='$member' ")

 

If thats what your looking for ?

 

Nah this is not it, since the member ID is not a part of the URL, its just a link posted on a website. (which is not my site)

 

<?php
$html = file_get_contents('http://siteurl.com');
preg_match_all('/member.php?u=(.*?)\'/', $html, $idz);
print_r($idz);
?>

 

Try this, if it works.

 

tried , but its all empty. it returns:

Array ( [0] => Array ( ) [1] => Array ( ) ) 

<?php
$html = file_get_contents('http://siteurl.com');
preg_match_all("/member.php\?u=(.*?)'/",$html,$idz);
print_r($idz[1]);
?>

 

Alright, i just checked it myself. This should work now.

 

That almost worked, lol. I noticed that the "u" in "member.php\?u=(.*?)" screws up. I changed it to "member.php\?(.*?)" and it worked.

Even though it returns strings such as

 

?s=021ed82677b143ddc8d96e1422f5fd5f&u=10122817001

 

I have no idea where the "?s=021ed82677b143ddc8d96e1422f5fd5f&" part comes from, since its not even in the source code. but that's ok. I'll use substr() to get the part I want. thank you!
