Get this function: http://pastebin.com/m41377320 Then do something like this: <?php $html = GetPage('http://www.google.com/wherever/my/page/is.html'); $html = preg_replace("#<script[^>]*>.+?</script>#i','',$html); $html = preg_replace("#<br\b[^>]*>#i","\n",$html); //turn br tags to newlines $html = preg_replace("#<p\b[^>]*>#i","\n",$html); //turn p tags to newlines $text = strip_tags($html); //strip out all other tags ?> Now $text has your page text with no html in it.
