Yes, I realize that now ;) I didn't read it thoroughly enough before I posted :P I think what Tom is referring to as "PHP code" is just the extra HTML tags around the object tag that he is trying to strip out. Tom - Try this: <?php $code = file_get_contents("http://www.tnhosting.co.uk/scripts/gclub/player.php"); $nstart = strpos($code, '<!-- Start Player Code -->'); $nstop = strpos($code, '<!-- End Player Code -->'); echo "<TEXTAREA>" . substr($code, $nstart, $nstop-$nstart) . "</TEXTAREA>"; ?> > -----Original Message----- > From: Jochem Maas [mailto:jochem@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] > Sent: Thursday, November 16, 2006 11:12 AM > To: Brad Fuller > Cc: php-general@xxxxxxxxxxxxx > Subject: Re: file_get_contents > > Brad Fuller wrote: > > Use curl or fopen() to make a request to that PHP page, instead of > reading > > in the actual contents of the file. > > heh Brad .... wtf do you think thw following line does??: > > $html = > file_get_contents("http://www.tnhosting.co.uk/scripts/gclub/player.php"); > > > > > Example: > > > > <?php > > > > $url = 'http://blabla.com/player.php'; > > > > $ch=curl_init(); > > curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $url); > > curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION, 0); > > curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_TIMEOUT, 120); > > curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_USERAGENT, "Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; > > Windows NT 5.0)"); > > curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1); > > $buffer = curl_exec($ch); > > curl_close($ch); > > > > echo "<TEXTAREA ...>" . $buffer .
