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:
http://hiscore.runescape.com/aff/runescape/hiscorepersona
l.cgi?username=champinoman");
if
(preg_match('#username=champinoman&category=13.*align="right">(.*)#mi',
$content,$out))
{
echo $out;
}else{
echo $content; // <- results in home page
}
?>

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]*)# 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.

RE: [PHP] Re: grabbing information from websites
The URL that you're grabbing there is a frameset, it's probably not the
page you want to look at.
When you right-click on the page you want to parse and select "View
Source" and get the information you posted below, do the same thing but
right-click and select "Properties" (in IE at least) and it'll tell you
the URL that you're really looking at.
My guess is that you're really parsing this source:
RuneScape - the massive online adventure game by Jagex
Ltd
RuneScape
RuneScape is a massive 3d multiplayer adventure, with monsters
to kill, quests to complete, and treasure to win. You control your
own character who will improve and become more powerful the more you
play.
This site uses frames, but your browser doesn't support them.
To play Runescape and browse our website, please download a
recent web browser
such as Microsoft Internet
Explorer or Netscape.
The Jagex Team.
Try echo'ing $line and looking at the data you're parsing. I bet it's
what you see above.

RE: [PHP] Re: grabbing information from websites
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 "70,277" ?
If there is a line break then $line will never contain both strings.
You may need to use fread() instead.

Re: [PHP] Re: grabbing information from websites
ugh, obviously I'm a bad typer :) The code should be:
preg_match('#username=champinoman&category=13.*align="right">(.*)#mi',
$text, $out);
Or using any other patterndelimiter... ;)

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 .

hi everyone,
im fairly new to php scripting and was having trouble grabing information
from a website.
i have been able to grab information that is in amongst other text (for
example, the word firemaking below)
---
Firemaking
7,386
61
333,575

but the number i want to grab is the 61. its on its own line which i think
is the reason im having trouble.
i have been using this:
eregi
("username=champinoman&category=13.*align=\"right\">(.*)",$line,$out)
what am i doing wrong? have i posted enough information.
thank you for the help.
p.s. try and keep the answers fairly straight forward as i am new to this
instead of the POSIX regexp, tr using PERL style RegExps

[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);

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
