(probably you would get better response on the php-generals list.) what you want to do sounds quite involved, if you want your script to grab the same page as you see in your browser then you will probably have to use something like the cURL extension or use a shell cmd like 'wget' in order that you can spoof UserAgent headers, pass login info, send a valid cookie along with the request. once you have the page you will have use some code to 'scrape' out the data you want, a suitable regular expression is the first thing that springs to mind inconjunction with preg_match() - but there are lots of other ways, php is abounds with string searching and manipulation function (time to dig into the manual :-) you might also want to search for the term 'screen scraping' or variations in order to get a better understanding of how to go about it. maybe there is a much easier way to do what you want. in order to find out answer the following 2 questions, maybe it will help someone to offer a totally different solution: 1. what is the relevance of the IP address, to what does it belong? 2. why do you need this IP? what is your end goal? rgds, Jochem -- PHP Database Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
