RE: [PHP] Web fetching script

What response are you expecting, and what response are you getting? assuming your regex is working as expected, you are running it twice to receive the same result into 2 different variables??? why not just copy the variable after additionally, $printing is filled with the matches of your regex(10 of them according to manual) as such you have to specify which element of $printing you are wanting to print, or you will get the lovely "array" output I don't understand why the grab variables are there unless you need them later. Without accounting for your regex... eregi("$GrabStart(.*)$GrabEnd", $rf, $printing); echo $printing[1]; $printingb=$printing; echo $printingb[1]; >I have a web fetching script that fetches text from an external URL and I >would like to grab two lots of text at the same time - can anyone tell me >why this isn't working? > ><? > >$GrabURL = "http://grabfile.html"; >$GrabStart = "start"; >$GrabEnd = "stop"; > >$file = fopen("$GrabURL", "r"); > >$rf = fread($file, 20000); > >$grab = eregi("$GrabStart(.*)$GrabEnd", $rf, $printing); > >echo $printing; > >rewind($rf); > >$grab2 = eregi("$GrabStart(.*)$GrabEnd", $rf, $printingb); > >echo $printingb; > >fclose($file); > >?> > >
