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 General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

Re: [PHP] Re: grabbing information from websites
i said i was learning this and didnt really understand it.
so going by what has been said i have come up with the following but
still doesnt want to work.
heres what i have:
?php
$file = fopen
(http://hiscore.runescape.com/aff/runescape/hiscorepersonal.cgi?username=champinoman,r;);
$line = fgets ($file, 1024);
if
(preg_match('#username=champinomancategory=13.*align=right(.*)/td#mi',$line,$out))
{
$rune = $out;
}
fclose($file);
print $rune;
?
and the source it is looking at is:
trtdimg src=http://www.runescape.com/img/hiscores/crafting.gif;
valign=bottom width=16 height=16 //tdtdnbsp;/td
tda href=hiscoreuser.cgi?username=champinomancategory=13
class=cCrafting/a/td
td align=right70,277/tdtd align=right
43
/tdtd align=right
53,630
/td/tr
I want it to get the 70,277 and store as $rune
if someone can tell me where im wrong i would be extremely grateful
thank you for your ongoing support.

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... ;)

I thought I clearly stated that for the m modifier you need to use PCRE

Re: [PHP] Re: grabbing information from websites
i tried putting in fread() but still getting a blank screen. any other
errors in here?
?php
$file = fopen
(http://hiscore.runescape.com/aff/runescape/hiscorepersonal.cgi?username=champinoman,r;);
$line = fread ($file, 1024);
if
(preg_match('#username=champinomancategory=13.*align=right(.*)/td#mi',$line,$out))
{
$rune = $out;
}
fclose($file);
print $rune;
?

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.
