Grabbing certain part of websites source

[phpcode]

I'm trying to get a certain part of a website and show it on my website but it doesn't work, can anyone see anything wrong with the code below?

 

<?php

error_reporting(E_ALL);

function get_between ($text, $s1, $s2) {
   $mid_url = "";
   $pos_s = strpos($text,$s1);
   $pos_e = strpos($text,$s2);
   for ( $i=$pos_s+strlen($s1) ; ( ( $i < ($pos_e)) && $i < strlen($text) ) ; $i++ ) {
       $mid_url .= $text[$i];
   }
   return $mid_url;
}


$rs2 = strip_tags(file_get_contents("http://runescape.com/title.ws"));

$str = get_between($rs2, '<img src="http://www.runescape.com/img/title2/more_news.gif" alt="More News">', '<table class="newssummary" style="width: 430px;">');

echo $str;
?>

Are you sure that display_errors is turned on via www.php.net/ini_set ?

Don't Strip tags from the output, tags let you find stuff easier.

[phpcode]

display_errors is set in ini_set also the code works when I edited it to this:-

 

function get_between ($text, $s1, $s2) {
   $mid_url = "";
   $pos_s = strpos($text,$s1);
   $pos_e = strpos($text,$s2);
   for ( $i=$pos_s+strlen($s1) ; ( ( $i < ($pos_e)) && $i < strlen($text) ) ; $i++ ) {
       $mid_url .= $text[$i];
   }
   return $mid_url;
}


$rs2 = strip_tags(file_get_contents("http://runescape.com/title.ws"));

$str = get_between($rs2, "Latest Poll", "Vote in this poll");
echo $str;

 

Does anyone see why the first code doesn't work?

Kind of an oxymoron deal here.

 

As cooldude stated the issue is with strip tags.

 

The first post you are attempting to locate tags, but you ultimately strip them before you even try to process the page.

 

The second post you made you are taking the text between what you want and using that, since there are no tags in the second post it works.

 

Basically if you want to use the table or any html tags to grab data, don't strip tags from the incoming data.

I've already removed the strip_tags before I created this topic and it didn't work.

You're getting it from the RS site, right? Look for the news_lite thing. They released hiscores_lite and news_lite. If you find that, it's all just listed for you.

for me it return

</div>

[phpcode]

What is the URL for news lite? I cannot find it.
