Retrieving a title from a website

Say I have a variable:

$var1 = "http://google.com/"

Now how could I retrieve the page title from that variable? (In this case "Google").

Same goes if var1 was http://forums.digitalpoint.com, I need a way to retrieve "Internet Marketing and....whatever the rest of the title is"

Thanks,

BP

 

That's a tall order... Are you paying for this project?

If not, I'd suggest you look into wget

 

I didnt realise it would be so hard :S system() is blocked by servers, and the only example I could get of wget was iwith using system()

Thanks anyway,

BP

 

<?php
$page = fopen('http://www.upload4ever.com','r');
while($cont = fread($page,1025654)){
	$info .= $cont;
}
fclose($page);
/*
Since you don't want to read the entire page,
maybe this would be sufficent
$info = fread($page,1025654);
But this will only pick up the first 1025654 bytes
*/

preg_match('/<title>(.*)<\/title>/Uis',$info,$results);
$page_title = $results[1];
?>

PHP:

Don't have time to test it, but it should work.

Peace,

 

Yes it works

Thank you very much
