searching a file for certain information

Recommended Posts

So I want to search the source of a website for a specific string. The string changes each time the page loads, and what I want if the string that changes each time the page loads. For example:

 

First Load:

 

phrase=353285732

 

On Refresh

phrase=35320890

 

so I was wondering how to search the file for "phrase=" but just grab the numbers after it. thanks

<?php
$website = file_get_contents($url);

list($before, $after) = split("phrase=", $website);
list($id) = split("&", $after);

print $id;

?>

 

I say the & because I need more than just the phrase= portion, I need the whole line so I know where to parse the second portion at. If you can figure it out from there more power to you. Hope that helps.
