Excluding parts of an included page

Anon

I need to include a part of a remote page in my pages. The included file is a complete HTML page that goes something like this:

............
<BODY>
<FORM....>
........
</FORM>
............
Is there anyway to include/display in browser only the content after the </FORM> tag?

Thanks

Sure thing! You "just" need to do some work first. Have a look at these string-commands :

strpos - looks for a string in a string (like </form> in your page)

substr - copies a part of a string from a string (like everything after </form> to the end of your page)

strlen - gives you the length of a string (like how much you should copy from </form> and to the end of your page)

Hint : Have a look at this URL

Thanks Techek. That means I was on the right track just using the wrong functions (include, require) to read the file into a variable. Frankly, I am still not sure which function would be best. For instance reading the file into a var with file() or fopen() and printing the var outputs "Array" and "Resource id #1".
I will keep playing with it but if someone wants to part with another great hint in the meantime, you are most welcome.
