Re: Extracting data from a URL using PHP

Tony, You should be able to extract the section you want if there is something specific about that section. For example if that table has a name=, id= or the width is different from the other tables, etc... I have done this, I am sure there is an easier way but here is what I did... <CODE> // Open website $fp=@fopen("http://www.TheURL.com/ThePage.asp?ID=".$id, "r") or die("Die Message."); // Read website into $read $read=fread($fp, 15000); // Close the channel fclose($fp); // Select the region of the site to work with. $search = eregi("<table width=\"542\" border=\"0\" cellspacing=\"0\" cellpadding=\"0\">(.*)</table>", $read, $printing); </CODE> I then put the table back in when I printed the string.
