PHP - Getting Certain Content From Another Webpage
I've used get_file_contents() before but it seems like it took a long time to load... what is the best or most efficient way to get certain content from a webpage? Like all the posts on a single forum page for example, without loading any images or styles, just the "source"

Hi, I will start off trying to explain what I am trying to make the best I can. What I want to create is a script that gets the gold value from this website: http://www.lbma.org.uk/pages/index.cfm?page_id=46&title=current_statistics and then save it to a variable which I will use to calculate values of different gold karats. Here is the content in bold I need on the website I linked: Quote LONDON GOLD FIXING USD GBP EUR AM 1588.00 1005.127 1251.083 PM 1589.50 1004.741 1249.803 So what help do I need? Well, I don't expect you to figure out the calculating part for me but some help how to get that content pointed out above and save it to a variable is what I would appreciate getting some help with. I don't know much PHP, only some and I have been trying to figure this out for a day now without any success. I suppose php get contents and/or curl should be used here but I don't know how really. I would very much appreciate the help I can get on this. Thank you! Hi. I found this code for my website, and it work well. Its just that there comes some text I wan't to delete. Code: Code: [Select] <?php /* index.php */ Session_start(); if($_SESSION['login'] == false) { header("Location:login.php"); } $a = $_GET['a']; $source='http://****.elementfx.com/test.php'; //$source='sample.txt'; $page_all = file_get_contents($source); $div_array=array(); preg_match_all('#<div id="intro">(.*?)</div>#sim', $page_all, $div_array); //print_r($div_array); ?> <html> <head> <title>Home</title> </head> <body> <center> <p><b><font color="blue" size="20">*****</font></b> <font color="blue" size="2">version 0.9_01</font></p> <br/> <br/> <br/> <textarea cols="50" rows="10"><?php print_r($div_array[1]);?></textarea> </center> </body> </html> The text it should get is: Quote Hello I'm Something! <p>asdoasduiasdasnda</p> asdasdaksdjas<br/> sdffdsg But the output is: Quote Array ( => Hello I'm Something! <p>asdoasduiasdasnda</p> asdasdaksdjas<br/> sdffdsg ) I need to get rid of the Array( ... thing.. Regards Worqy Hey all, What's the most efficient way to wait until a page on your own website is done being rendered, and then parse it for something specific? The reason I'm having to scrape it rather than just generate it myself is because the part being scraped if being generated in an iframe on my site via another site, and the data inside of it is dynamic. Thanks Hi, I kow this is probably something simple, but i have 2 links to a RSS feed which i need to put up on a web page. Not just a link, but the actual feed rendered with a number of news headlines. One is a ".rss2.XML" link and the ither is a html link. the HTML i suppose is static, so probably not any good. thanks in advance So we just started php after learning a month of HTML, and we need to create a website with a page that allows the admin to change the colors and font size, header, etc on the webpage itself via forms. E.g. I'm on the site and I can use a drop down menu to change the background to "blue" for example. No need to go edit the CSS file or anything. How can be this done? My second and final question is how would I write code that allows my website to have users "log in" to their account so they can edit their page? Thanks a lot, I'm not good at PHP yet I've just started so please keep that in mind:) - Kranti Just need a correction on this please, there is a Parse error, think I got the quote marks wrong somewhere? echo "<li>" . <a href="/stock/$stock.htm"> .$Stock .

But surprisingly, with none of them I was successful to catch all links from e.g. http://www.amazon.com/Notebooks-Laptop-Computers/b/ref=sa_menu_lapnet6?ie=UTF8&node=565108 All links are captured except a series in the main area; e.g. http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=amb_link_85318851_3?ie=UTF8&node=565108&field-availability=-1&brand=acer&emi=ATVPDKIKX0DER&pf_rd_m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&pf_rd_s=center-6&pf_rd_r=1HET3VVW5SXMJ0SRKJVM&pf_rd_t=101&pf_rd_p=1291722382&pf_rd_i=565108 http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=amb_link_85318851_22?ie=UTF8&node=1232596011&brand=samsung&pf_rd_m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&pf_rd_s=center-6&pf_rd_r=1HET3VVW5SXMJ0SRKJVM&pf_rd_t=101&pf_rd_p=1291722382&pf_rd_i=565108 Hello im using mybb forum, and i have another webpage what i want to access with forum username and password.

Hi, I want to save an webpage into my server location, as simple as that. At present, I am reading the content of the file using curl, save that content into a text file, then save that text file. I assume there must be some straightforward way just to save www.example.com/file.html into my server directory as file.html. Can anyone help me on this, please? Thanks, -Abd I have a particular PHP file which is publicly located, however, I don't want anyone but me to access. Below are my thoughts how to do so. Please comment.
Use an uncommon name, and definitely not index.php.
Either include a file called index.html in the same directory, or set up Apache not to show them using Options -Indexes, or maybe both for good measure.
Require some variable to be set to a given value in either the GET or POST array, and if not set, throw a 404 header and display the 404 missing file HTML. Hi Guys, Yet again, I was wondering if one of you genious's could help me. I want to be able to take a screenshot of an entire webpage (From the header to footer) using a PHP script.
