Tony, try searching the archives - the regular expression that's required to
get the stuff between the <body> tags has been asked many, many times
before.
Here's a quick bit of code that might get you started:
<?php
$temp_file = "/tmp/" . uniqid("yahoo");
$myfile = "/path/to/myfile.html";
$file = "http://www.yahoo.com/";;
$their_text = implode("", file($file));
# now let's get our match between the body tags.
if(!preg_match("!<body[^>]+>(.*)</body>!is", $their_text, $matches))
{
# No matches?
} else
{
$my_text = $matches[1];
# Copy to temp file first....
$fp = fopen($temp_file, "w");
fwrite($fp, $my_text);
fclose($fp);
if(filesize($temp_file) > 0)
{
# We probably got some good text.
copy($temp_file, $myfile);
} else
{
echo "Something flakey's happened.\n";
}
unlink($temp_file);
}
?>
Have a look at phpbuilder.net for tutorials on this sort of thing - I seem
to remember having seen some tutorials there on this sort of thing not so
long back.
