fgetc function to get inside tags

[Anon]

Yup, still working on a solid way to grab the inside of a titletag on a htmlpage and the code I am using now should work (I think) but it doesn't...can anyone see the error?

Thx, here is the code:

<?

$url2="http://www.dfolw.com";
$tag = "title";

$fd = fopen($url2, "r") or die("Error: Unable to open file $url2");
// Loop until we're at EOF of $fd
while (!feof($fd))
{
$char = fgetc($fd);
$grab = "1";
if ($char == "<")
{
$inside_tag = true;
}
// We're inside a tag
if ($inside_tag)
{
$element .= $char;
}
if ($char == ">")
{
$inside_tag = false;
if (ereg ("<$tag", $element))
{
$open_tag = "1";
}
//between tags we are looking for
if ($open_tag == 1)
{
if ($char == ">")
{
$grab = "";
}
if ($char == "<")
{
// close tag reached
$open_tag = "";
$element = "";
$grab = "";
}
if ($grab == 1)
{
$want .= $char;
}
}
}
}
fclose( $fd );

$title = $want;
echo $title;

?>

thx for helping

preg_match("/<title>(.*)<\/title>/ims", $pageContent, $match);
$title = $match[1];

???
I have tried this kind of codes and they don't work properly. That is why i was working on another approach and the code I made should do it and I want to use it but it has an error somewhere and I can't find out where...that is what I need, not another solution.

thx

Look at this :

If you have questions just ask.

I already looked at it, tried it and it doesn't work...sorry..

anyway i am not looking for other scripts (trust me I have seen about all free available scripts and they don't do what I want them to) i just want me own script to work...but I just can't find the error...I know it should work this way...

thx anyway..

or:
<?php
require('metaengine.inc');
$data = MetaEngine('http://www.yoursite.com');
$title = $data[title];
echo $title;
?>

done....

well actually it does work, I just tried it by sending it 'http://www.dfolw.com ' and I got back "Delta Force Outcasts ::Land Warrior::". If you want to use your own code that works too.

Plz..thx for the input but still no-one has commented on my own script which I want to use.

Where in my script is the error (in coding or perhaps in thinking) I want to know

FYI: my script now only goes for the title tag but it should be able to get any tag wanted, therefor plz no other scripts (I have seen too many already and all of them have failed there purpose so far)

So please help me by finding the bug in this script:

<?

$url2="http://www.dfolw.com";
$tag = "title";

$fd = fopen($url2, "r") or die("Error: Unable to open file $url2");
// Loop until we're at EOF of $fd
while (!feof($fd))
{
$char = fgetc($fd);
$grab = "1";
if ($char == "<")
{
$inside_tag = true;
}
// We're inside a tag
if ($inside_tag)
{
$element .= $char;
}
if ($char == ">")
{
$inside_tag = false;
if (ereg ("<$tag", $element))
{
$open_tag = "1";
}
//between tags we are looking for
if ($open_tag == 1)
{
if ($char == ">")
{
$grab = "";
}
if ($char == "<")
{
// close tag reached
$open_tag = "";
$element = "";
$grab = "";
}
if ($grab == 1)
{
$want .= $char;
}
}
}
}
fclose( $fd );

$title=$want;
echo $title;

?>

wow dude...friend.. lol...i couldn't reach my host so I sent the script to a friend with php hosting and it gave back zip...

Lol...so it does work...good for me hahahaha me happy now

[Anon]

uhm....problem solved (it wasn't there) hahahahahahahah

lol i am happy now

basically the order of your code and some of the logic was off.

Here is your working code if you still want it:
<?

$url2="http://www.dfolw.com";
$tag = "title";

$fd = fopen($url2, "r") or die("Error: Unable to open file $url2");
// Loop until we're at EOF of $fd
while (!feof($fd)) {
$char = fgetc($fd);

//between tags we are looking for
if ($open_tag == true) {
if ($char == "<") {
$grab = false;
$open_tag = false;
}
}

if ($grab == true) {
$want .= $char;
}

if ($char == ">") {

if ($tag == $element) {
$grab = true;
$open_tag = true;
}
}

// We're inside a tag
if ($inside_tag) {
$element .= $char;
}

if ($char == "<") {
$inside_tag = true;
unset($element);
}

} //End while loop
fclose( $fd );

$title = $want;
echo $title;

?>
