Hi, I haven't uploaded it yet (FTP was down when I finished) although I hope I will have time to tonight. I will send the link when it is up.
I won't give too many trade secrets away but this is roughly how I do it: - Get URL for story - Replace "/hi/" in URL with "/low/" - Download story HTML - You may have noticed that the printable version is split into sections by a <hr>, simple run an array split with <br> as the delimiter (explode() in PHP I think) - Then you can run a regular expression to get images out. I then put them in a MySQL db with a fulltext index so they could be searchable. Hope it helps.

I too parsed the html of the news item to get the pictures however a little word of advice: it's ALOT easier to do so when viewing the low detail (i.e. text only) version ;) David On Mon, 30 May 2005 13:09:12 -0400, "Taha Taha" wrote Hi all, �I'm working on a picture outlook for the BBC content , it will display all the images posted on BBC-with some exceptions-, . I was wondering if there is any guideline about the structure of the content. I read the XML feeds, but when I go into the news items am using my own observation of how to parse the content (using the internal comments of the HTML code mostly).Is there a smarter way of doing this or do I have to play more with the jigsaw? � Thanx everyone � ---------------------------------------- Scanned by Emailfiltering.co.uk
