Re: Remote Files using PHP: Help Please

Thanks John. Two questions: In the php function eregi() it seems that you can use html markup to begin the pattern match. As in the snippet listed below: ........................................ "<!-- start of data table -->(.*)<HR>", ........................................ which roughly translates to: eregi (<!--start data table--> // match the string that begins with the html markup source code <!--start data table --> (.*) // and continue each character until... <HR> // the html code <HR> is reached. Correct? The other question: Can the font type and font size for that output be changed in say a smaller typesize an typeface? Thank you for your time.
