Shari,
If you control the php script, you can always return simple HTML than will render using a field's htmlText property, and display that.
You can also just search for the name in the HTML.

The .php script can dynamically insert a person's name onto a web page, to personally thank them or whatever. But for my Metacard script to go to that web page and check to make sure the name is there, fails. When you "get" an URL, what you are getting is the raw HTML, not the finished page the surfer sees.
Brian,
I tried that last night, using a real web page on my site. The php script replaces a dummy word with the desired one, and the page you see has the newly inserted word. When I retrieved the page from Metacard, it retrieved the raw HTML with the dummy word, not the web page it produced with the newly inserted word. Same problem I had with CGI.
Am I missing something?
I need to be able to "get" what is displayed, not the raw HTML behind it. Barring that, the only solution would be to have a text file or HTML page that is actually updated, not temporarily for one view, but permanently.
