Find string in website/webpage

[greg duke]

Hi All,

 

I'm new at php and I need your help.

 

I'm trying to find a string in a website. I want my website to get a string on another website(I have full access) without really opening it on a browser. For example the string is "MyID=123456", i want to find "MyID=123456"(the MyID number is random and always changing but always 6 random numbers) on another website and output only "123456" on my website. Is this possible?

 

Please help. Thanks

Try this out

 

$page = file_get_contents('http://www.example.com/');
$sub = stristr($page, "myid=");
$num = sub_str($sub, 0, 6);  // assuming the value will always be six characters

 

If you need to find the id for any variable length you'll have to split on the space after the value, but I'm sure you can figure the rest out.

Thank you it worked.

Thanks you for your help.

 

One more thing, I can find any sting to a website expect if it is inside an frame, but in a browser when I right click the frame and view page source I can see the string I want to find.
