RE: [PHP] Re: grabbing information from websites
OK, I've tried it out. What is interesting is that the URL you have posted
results in the site's 'home' page, for me anyway, which obviously results in
no matches for the preg_match. It appears to redirect to
http://www.runescape.com/ somehow.
I am using the code:
?php
$content =
file_get_contents(http://hiscore.runescape.com/aff/runescape/hiscorepersona
l.cgi?username=champinoman);
if
(preg_match('#username=champinomancategory=13.*align=right(.*)/td#mi',
$content,$out))
{
echo $out;
}else{
echo $content; // - results in home page
}
?

fgets() will read in from file until end of line or end of file up to the
No
bytes given.
Is there an end of line between the username=chapinoman and the td
align=right70,277 ?
If there is a line break then $line will never contain both strings.
You may need to use fread() instead.

The URL that you're grabbing there is a frameset, it's probably not the

When you right-click on the page you want to parse and select View

right-click and select Properties (in IE at least) and it'll tell you

Re: [PHP] Re: grabbing information from websites
I agree with Trevor... but if he manages to nvigate to the page and
try to parse it, he will end up finding the problem Graham said. He is
only reading the first line. He can either use fread or shrink his
regex to #align=right([0-9]*,?[0-9]*)/td# and make a loop using
fgets. The second option is the worse one tough, the website probably
has way more lines matching that criteria... But it works on that
small piece of the source.

Try echo'ing $line and looking at the data you're parsing. I bet it's

$line = fgets ($file, 1024);

(.*)/td#mi',$line,$out))
{
$rune = $out;
}
fclose($file);
print $rune;

ugh, obviously I'm a bad typer :) The code should be:
preg_match('#username=champinomancategory=13.*align=right(
.*)/td#mi',
$text, $out);
Or using any other patterndelimiter... ;)

$line = fread ($file, 1024);

}
fclose($file);

fgets() will read in from file until end of line or end of file up to the
No
bytes given.
Is there an end of line between the username=chapinoman and the td
align=right70,277 ?
If there is a line break then $line will never contain both strings.
You may need to use fread() instead.

instead of the POSIX regexp, tr using PERL style RegExps
(www.php.net/pcre) Once you've done that, you can add the pattern
modifier
'm' to allow multilines .
i think im lost now. i had a look at the site but im not sure what im
looking at. any chance u could make a mock script up so i can see what
your
explaining?

[PHP] Re: Grabbing the STDOUT
Brent Clark wrote:
Hi all
Ive been try for sometime now, and too tried googling for an answer, to grab the
STDOUT of a command.
In this case the binary command is readbar
The general output of readbar executed on its own is as so:
Code 39-10005802
IATA 2 of 5-2
IATA 2 of 5-8
1 barcodes found
I basically need to grab this output.
Does anyone know how to send this to an array or varible.
You want to try shell_exec:
http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.shell-exec.php
I haven't used readbar, but if it returns plain text then PHP should be
able to get the return result, like:
$result = shell_exec('readbar');
Some things to consider though: do you want your webserver to have
permission to execute shell commands? This COULD be a security risk, so
be careful - watch your permissions. Another option is to run the
readbar command from the command line and then pipe the result to PHP.
I don't really know what you're trying to do here so I can't give better
advice than that.
I too have tried the passthru function.
Kind Regards and thanks to anyone that can help

[PHP] Re: Grabbing
I guess the ereg() will stop when i reads a new line character, therefore try to use the preg_match() with /is modifiers. preg_match(/$begin(.*?)$end, $search, $matches); Daniel alsén [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote in message [EMAIL PROTECTED]">news:[EMAIL PROTECTED]... Hi, iam trying to grab info from a webpage. This snippet is the part that does the actual searching... $site = www.whatever.com/something.html; $open = fopen($site, r); $search = fread($open, 2); fclose($open); $search = ereg($begin(.*)$end, $search, $content); What i find strange is that the search only works on the actual text in the html-document. It doesn´t seem to be able to use htmltags as $begin or $end. And another question: does the search of $end begins from $begin? Or does it scan the whole document for both strings?

I want to open a particular directory that stores images and I want the

with some code for that. I want to set it up this way so that people can
just upload images there and they would be available on each load of the
