Can you please give me some advice for this problem, I do it site in CMS, I have boxes on site http://www.istoots.com and in this boxes must pull automatic information from this site http://www.dodtracker.com/ but only in couple boxes, can somebody help me to give me advice hove I can do this... Thanks.
First of all, you will need to make sure your php.ini settings can be set to "allow URL" for fread() and fopen(). Start out by trying to get the file contents (source code) of the page $file = "http://domain.com/filename.txt"; $handle = fopen("$file", "r") or die("cannot read file!"); $max = filesize($file); $filestring = fread($handle, $max); PHP: then go ahead and explode by <li> as this is what the site uses for the boxes. $boxes = explode('<li>',$filestring); //$boxes[1] = first deal, $boxes[2] = second deal, etc PHP: then from that you can get the url, title, and other specific information to reformat the boxes if you want. Otherwise $boxes[X] will just be their code. Hope that helps!
I know that fopen is on but I can not find fread... The biggest problem s that I did no where I can put this php code, I am a not good in php... Can you please help me??????????????
something like this... call the file index.php and try running it. Not sure what will happen but it should be close? I dont think there is an allow URL for fread(), only fopen() because fopen uses fread <?php $file = "http://domain.com/filename.txt"; $handle = fopen("$file", "r") or die("cannot read file!"); $max = filesize($file); $filestring = fread($handle, $max); $boxes = explode('<li>',$filestring); ?> <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd"> <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" lang="en" xml:lang="en"> <head> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8" /> <title>Welcome to www.istoots.com</title> <meta name="description" content="Welcome to www.istoots.com - Powered by Elxis CMS (www.elxis.org)" /> <meta name="keywords" content="open source, multilingual, free cms, table-less, xhtml valid, css, content managment, rtl compatible, elxis.org, adodb, elxis" /> <meta name="Generator" content="Elxis - Copyright (C) 2006-2009 Elxis.org.
