Re: PArsing tables of web page directly on the web.

Hi Siva,

Leave the perl script and first try the url in your browser. 

If it works fine means then the code will get you the HTML contecnt of that 
page.

Thanks and Regards,

Subject: PArsing tables of web page directly on the web.

 
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
