What did you try, and why do you think they failed?

<pre>
<?php
$data = 'Uploaded:</font> <font color="#cccccc">56.64 GB';
preg_match('%(?<=Uploaded:</font> <font color="#cccccc">)([\d.]+)%', $data, $matches);
print_r($matches);
?>
<pre>

thanks mate!

 

how come it doesnt work if the $data is an extracted webpage ?

$data = file_get_contents('http://www.site.com');

i wudda opted for sumfin like

preg_match("@Uploaded:(?:<.*>)(\d{1,}.\d{2}) ([bGMTK]{2})@i",$data,$matches)

ok guys i got what the problem is:

the site i get the value from needs to be logged in:

how can i do this in php?

i need to access the page and get the value trhu the script...

depends on the authentication method

cookies

or

https

 

for https ya can put the username/pw on the url string

https://site.com@user:pw/path/

 

I believe the format is

 

for cookies ya will prolly opt for using curl (as fopen wud be a lot of code)
