trying to parse a URL and write html code to a file, then search the file for a string between <TITLE> ... </TITLE> how would I implement the fread function below, and regular expressions to read the specific conent. thx or is there a php function that can return the TITLE of a URL? <?php $string = implode("", file($url)); $fp = fopen("temp.txt", "w"); fwrite($fp, $string); fclose($fp);

i would read in the entire file, and use a 'regular expression' such as ereg() http://nl.php.net/manual/nl/function.ereg.php explained on http://www.phpbuilder.com/columns/dario19990616.php3 or preg_match http://nl.php.net/manual/nl/function.preg-match.php I think this may work, with the $string from your code: $pattern="/<title>(.*)<\/title>/i"; preg_match($pattern, $string, $matches); $title=$matches[1]; echo $title;
