what is wrong with this code?

[Anon]

This code should return the title of a webpage, phpbuilder in this case

<?

$path = "http://www.phpbuilder.com";
$datatype = "title";

$pagefile = fopen($path, "r");
$data = fread($pagefile, filesize($path));
eregi("<" . $datatype . ">(.*)</" . $datatype . ">", $data, $out);

?>
This is the title:<br><br>
<?
echo $out[1];
?>

thx

I finally got (took me all day)

but this works:

$path = "http://www.phpbuilder.com";
$datatype = "title";
$source = fopen($path, "r");
$data = fread($source,1000);

eregi("<" . $datatype . ">(.*)</" . $datatype . ">", $data, $out);

?>
This is the title:<br><br>
<?
echo $out[1];
