[SOLVED] How does this work ?

[ikmyer]

Would anyone be willing to tell me or show me a site that explains how to do something like the following...

 

http://h2.halowiki.net/p/Special:Gamesaver

 

For an example, put in Game ID: 697764150

 

How can I get the information they collect from http://www.bungie.net/Stats/GameStatsHalo2.aspx?gameid=697764150

<?php

$id = $_GET['id'];

$content = file_get_contents("http://www.bungie.net/Stats/GameStatsHalo2.aspx?gameid=$id");

echo $content;

?>

 

You then need to go on to fish out the data you want from that

Sorry... what exactly are you wanting to do?

 

Build a page like the first, or scrape the infomation from the second?

Thanks chigley, that is interesting.

 

thorpe,

 

I want to do Both, being that they are one in the same.  I want to build a page like http://h2.halowiki.net/p/Special:Gamesaver though I want to do different stuff with the data like store in a database.  That part I will have no trouble with.  The problem I have right now is "getting" the information or as you say "scrape the information from the second?"

What you need to do is parse the HTML code received in the $content variable from the source I posted above. You can then "fish out" the bits that you want and do whatever you like with them

yeah, i was afraid of that  :-\

 

Thank you for getting me on the right track!!
