Re: parsing parsed pages?

Do what the BBC is doing: 1. write a special php page that as a variable takes the name of a page to parse. parser.php?page=www.pavethebay.org/info.php 2. then from parser use file() and join: // get a web page into a string $fcontents = join( '', file( http://$page") ); 3. use preg_replace() to modify the string in $fcontents. Such as prepending parser.php? to all of the links in the string. That's it in a nutshell.
