Get a value from another website?

[carstorm]

To suit my purpose in the end I need it to only need the mod name. How would I go about this? Would I use array_search? I know the function would have to be reworked.

In which case you would pass the mod name and your array to the function. Make the mod name the index of the array.

function getMod($mod, &$modarray)
{
    $page = file_get_contents($modarray[$mod][0]);
    $posStart = strpos($page, "Newest File: ") + $modarray[$mod][1];
    $posStop = strpos($page, "<",$posStart) + $modarray[$mod][2];
    $version = substr($page, $posStart, $posStop-$posStart);
    $output = "<br>{$mod}<br>version $version<br>";
    return $output;
}

$mods = array
   (
   "RailCraft" => array("http://www.curse.com/mc-mods/minecraft/railcraft",23,0),
   "Tinker's Construct" => array("http://www.curse.com/mc-mods/minecraft/tinkers-construct",31,-4),
   );

// IF YOU WANT ALL THEN
foreach ($mods as $mod => $modArray) {
    echo getMod($mod, $mods);
}  

// IF YOU WANT ONE THEN
echo getMod("RailCraft", $mods);
