How to repeat something with small variation?

[typeslowly]

$url = "http://www.example.com/1;
$ch = curl_init($url);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);
$page = curl_exec($ch);
curl_close($ch);

$regex = '/[v][0-9]{5}[A-Za-z0-9]{8}/';
preg_match($regex,$page,$match);
var_dump($match);
echo $match[1];

 

Hi, I'm trying to make this code repeat with the number at the end of the URL changing every time. How do I set a a range of numbers? What would be the best way to store all this data? Sorry if this a dumb question, I tried searching and got nothing.

try

<?php

$numbers = range (1, 50);

foreach ($numbers as $n)
{
    $url = "http://www.example.com/$n";
    $ch = curl_init($url);
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);
    $page = curl_exec($ch);
    curl_close($ch);

    $regex = '/[v][0-9]{5}[A-Za-z0-9]{8}/';
    preg_match($regex,$page,$match);
    var_dump($match);
    echo $match[1];
}
?>

That works great, thanks. But it comes out really weird(to me)

How can I get all of those into a .csv file or something so I can manipulate them easier? I don't even know how to ask the question, haha. If you could give some general topics I could read about this, that would be cool.  How do you make your code colored>

[Barand]

var_dump() can be bit cluttered. Clearer if you put the output between "pre" tags

 

echo '<pre>', print_r($match, true), '</pre>';

 

To get php code color-coded, put "<?php" at the start of the code

 

<?php
echo '<pre>', print_r($match, true), '</pre>';
