Re: getting HTML header from URL [solved]

hmm, figured it out...all of a sudden it did work: here's the code, it loads a URL and returns the title... dunno what it would be used for, but it aught we some more about php.. i'll probbly implement it on a link page ir something Jule function getTitle($url) { $file = @fopen($url, 'r'); if(!$file) { $rline = "Error, contact webmaster"; } else { while (!feof ($file)) { $line = fgets($file); if (substr_count(strtoupper("$line"), "<TITLE>") >= 1) { $rline = strip_tags("$line"); return $rline; fclose($file); break; }

    	}

fclose($file); } On Friday, Nov 1, 2002, at 20:26 US/Eastern, Jule Slootbeek wrote:

well, i got it to read a html file, but the problem is that it reads it after it loads it, so it doesn't read the tags, and i'm looking for the string in between <title> and </title> is there a way using fopen() or something similar to read an html/php file before it's loaded?

i thought fopen() was only for local files, didn't even bother looking, but now i think about it..it makes perfect sence to open url's as well, thanks a lot! Jule On Friday, Nov 1, 2002, at 17:42 US/Eastern, John Nichel wrote:

Docs -> Function Reference -> Filesystem Functions -> fopen() It was hidden. Jule Slootbeek wrote:

hey is there a way to get the URL header? the <title> <meta> tags etc? i couldn't find any function in the docs, but maybe i just don't know where to look. if there's a function that pulls in an entire page that;s fine too i can work with that.. any help appreciated TIA Jule Jule Slootbeek jslootbeek@clarku.edu
