RE: [PHP] Re: Using fopen()/fread()/fscanf()

Alright, I see that this is probably the way to go, but I'm dying here. I have this: $filename = fopen("http://www.kinyradio.com/juneaunews/latest_juneau_news.html", "r"); $contents = fread($filename, 1000000); preg_match_all("|<font face=\"Verdana\" size=\"3\"><b>+[-a-zA-Z0-9,. ]+|i", $contents, $out); print_r($out); And it returns this: Array ( [0] => Array ( [0] => Injured hiker [1] => Toy guns looked real enough [2] => U-S Forest Service Chief visiting [3] => Millions in compensation divided up [4] => Alaska Air [5] => One car [6] => Services [7] => Talkeetna ) [1] => Array ( [0] => Injured hiker [1] => Toy guns looked real enough [2] => U-S Forest Service Chief visiting [3] => Millions in compensation divided up [4] => Alaska Air [5] => One car [6] => Services [7] => Talkeetna ) ) This is definitely progress, but the headlines are truncated. I have a feeling this has something to do with linebreaks, but I don't know how to account for those. For example, $out[0][0] should read "Injured hiker rescued on Mt. Juneau" and $out[0][2] should end with "...Alaska for the first time". The manual entries for preg_match and preg_match_all pretty much assume you have a working knowledge of reg expressions, which I don't, and a google search turned up a bunch of pages, none of which I could understand enough to be of help. So, any pointers would be appreciated. Thanks!

I would use preg_match() on $contents. -- Jason Wong -> Gremlins Associates -> www.gremlins.com.hk Open Source Software Systems Integrators * Web Design & Hosting * Internet & Intranet Applications Development * /* Communications satellite used by the military for star wars. */ -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
