RE: [PHP] Web fetching script

That file doesn't exist. Put it there again so I can take a look at it. And pls notify me when it's there. :) Niklas -----Original Message----- From: Ben Quinn [mailto:benquinn@optushome.com.au] Sent: 27. elokuuta 2001 11:41 To: Php-General Cc: Niklas Lampén; huntsman@www.nisu.flinders.edu.au Subject: Re: [PHP] Web fetching script G'day David, Niklas As usual i'm in way over my head so i'm going to be a real pain and ask for more help Niklas, unfortunately the start and stop points change constantly, i'm hoping to get around this by using the substr() function - luckily the format (in tables) stays the same My main objective is for the file to be read once only, by the time i'm finished i'll probably be grabbing 20-30 different areas of text/numbers from a file, and i'm paying for anything over 1gig downloaded from my account each month, so it could end up quite expensive. This is an example of the file i'm grabbing from http://www.arl.noaa.gov/data/ready/usr/897_profile.txt David, i couldn't get what you said to work - any chance of a quick example? :-) ----- Original Message ----- From: "David Robley" <huntsman@www.nisu.flinders.edu.au> To: "Ben Quinn" <benquinn@optushome.com.au>; <php-general@lists.php.net> Sent: Monday, August 27, 2001 5:58 PM Subject: Re: [PHP] Web fetching script > On Mon, 27 Aug 2001 17:10, Ben Quinn wrote: > > G'day Guys > > > > Sorry, i should have explained it better.
