How do I use this PHP script please?

Somebody gave me the script below to scrape Google.co.uk movie theater listings onto my site. I have saved the file as cinemas.php here and then accessing it from a HTML file, but it just says http://www.google.co.uk/movies?hl=en&near=&sort=1&q=

I needed some help from the PHP gurus, as I'm not really an expert with the language: what do I do now? How do I use the script?

Also, can I ask if it is likely the script will break from time to time? I realise it's a guess, because nobody knows how frequently Google will change their movie listings, but anybody? I installed another PHP script and am having to constantly change it every two weeks because the site it is pulling data from keeps changing their format.

<?php
$URL="<A href="http://www.google.co.uk/movies?hl=en&near=".urlencode($town)."&sort=1&q=".urlencode($moviename">http://www.google.co.uk/movies?hl=en&near=".urlencode($town)."&sort=1&q=".urlencode($moviename);
echo $URL;
// Where to Start grabbing and where to End grabbing
$Start = "Film Showtimes";
//$Start = "<a href=\"/movies?hl=en&near=";
$End = "Language Tools";
// Open the file
//$file = fopen("$URL", "r");
// Read the file
$r = file_get_contents ($URL);
// Grab just the contents we want
$stuff = eregi("$Start(.*)$End", $r, $content);
//echo $stuff;
 
// Get rid of some rubbish we don't need.
$allowedtags = "<b><br>";
 
$content[1]= strip_tags ($content[1],$allowedtags);
$content[1]=  str_replace("<b>", "<p><b>", $content[1]);
$content[1]=  str_replace("IMDb", "", $content[1]);
$content[1]=  str_replace("Map", "", $content[1]);
$content[1]=  str_replace("<b>Today</b>", "<!--", $content[1]);
$content[1]=  str_replace("&nbsp;reviews<p>", "-->", $content[1]);
$content[1]=  str_replace("&nbsp;-&nbsp;Film rating&nbsp;-&nbsp;Film title", "", $content[1]);
echo $content[1];
?>

Thank you very much.

 

Scraping is illegal, aint it?

 

Sorry, I didn't know it was illegal! I just wanted to try integrating the movie theater listings into my website. I wanted to know what exactly to do to use the PHP script.

 

Firstly you should use an include to pull the script into a php file.

Also you need to set the moviename variable before the script is run.
