fopen

[Anon]

I am using a script to grab headlines and place them on another site. The function works fine with one small problem. The URLs in the original text are relative and I need to convert them to absolute. I have no clue as to how to go about this.

Here is what I have so far:

<?

$fd= fread(fopen("http://www.sportsnetwork.com/default.asp?c=sportsnetwork&page=nascar/indexpic.htm", "r"), 100000);

if ($fd)

{

$start= strpos($fd, "<!-- content include start -->");

$finish= strpos($fd, "<!--<font face=\"arial,helvetica\" size=\"2\">");

$length= $finish-$start;

$code=Substr($fd, $start, $length);

}

echo $code;

?>

I need to get the www.sportsnetwork.com into the relative URLs.

Thanks,
John

Has the sportsnetwork granted you the permission to do this?

I would get permission before "stealing" their stuff.

Thanks for the "advice", but I already have their permission.

Full credit is given on all newsfeeds.

Now do you have a solution or not?

[Anon]

I would have, but I don't really like the tone in you post.

I don't meant to pick nits, but you are the one calling me a thief!

Sorry. I assumed wrong.

I know of a few people who have stolen news, if my news was stolen, I wouldn't appreciate it.

Do you know regex? They would help out a lot for doing this parsing. Let me know, then we can start looking at doing this up right! 😉
