Re: Reading Remote Files

Tom - not sure if this is the problem or not, but might be worth looking at - both of your die("couldn't read"); statements contain un-escaped single quotes. try this die("couldn\'t read"); jon ----- Original Message ----- From: Tom Harris <stry_cat@yahoo.com> To: <php-general@lists.php.net> Sent: Tuesday, December 05, 2000 11:18 AM Subject: [PHP] Reading Remote Files Hi folks, I'm having trouble working with a remote file. What I want to do is grab an HTML file from our partner's site, and remove a chunk of between two html comments <!--Start border1--> & <!--End border1--> and then display what's left of the file in the browser. The first problem is when I do fread it dies in the following code $filename="http://www.remoteserver.com/thefile.html"; $fp=fopen($filename, "r") or die("couldn't open"); $body=fread($fp, filesize($filename)) or die("couldn't read"); I'm guessing it can't get the filesize from a remote system, is there a way around this? Of course after this problem is solved, I have to figure out how to cut out the chunk of text. -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, e-mail: php-general-unsubscribe@lists.php.net For additional commands, e-mail: php-general-help@lists.php.net To contact the list administrators, e-mail: php-list-admin@lists.php.net
