Grabbing text of a site

Hello

I want to grab some text of a site and i wonder How could i do this in a good way ? i only want some specific text from maybe 1-5 lines in their code with the html stripped, someone that could help me here and show and example on how this can be done ?

 

You could maybe try cURL

$url = "http://someDomain.com";

$ch = curl_init();
curl_setopt ($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $url);
curl_setopt ($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
curl_setopt ($ch, CURLOPT_CONNECTTIMEOUT, 5);
curl_setopt ($ch, CURLOPT_USERAGENT, $_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT']);
curl_setopt ($ch, CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION, TRUE);
$data = curl_exec($ch);
curl_close($ch);
return $data;

PHP:

Now the variable $data holds the full page html, next you could use something like preg_match() to find what your looking for and return that as a $text = $match[0].

If you post here or PM me with a url and the text you want, I can put together something for you.

 

or you can start with php function : file_get_contents()
