PArsing tables of web page directly on the web.

[Siva Prasad]

 

Hi Gurus,

 

I wanted to parse a PHP page which is on web.

 

I don't have access to server where the PHP page is hosted.

 

So I wanted to get source of that particular page and then parse the source
file.

 

Here is the code:

 

-----------Code

use LWP::UserAgent ; 

$ua = new LWP::UserAgent ; 

$ua->agent("Mozilla/4.0") ; # Play with their minds 

$req = new HTTP::Request 'GET',
'http://www.jimmyr.com:80/free_education.php' ; 

$req->header('Accept' => 'text/html') ; 

$res = $ua->request($req) ; 

if($res->is_success){ 

        print $res->content ; 

        } else { 

        print "Error: " . $res->code ." ". $res->message ; 

        } 

 

-------------Code

 

 

But When I run the above code I am getting the following error.

 

Error: 500 Can't connect to www.jimmyr.com:80 (connect: Unknown error).

 

 

Is there any alternate way that I can directly parse tables and contents of
the tables on the webpage directly?

 

 

Thanks in Advance,

Siva
