Help saving remote page.

[zmehta]

I am trying to save a remote page, extract the useful information and then display the remaining content.

I have tried using fopen and fputs but am having no luck, I either get errors, or a blank screen.

Any help would be great. Thanks!

use this function it does a raw socket r
request... works every time =)

but your path must no have any ip with it
ie i want http://www.yahoo.com/index.html
Get_data("www.yahoo.com","80","/index.html");

function Get_data($server,$port,$mpath)
{
$mpath = sprintf("GET %s HTTP/1.0\n\n",$mpath);
$sp = fsockopen($server,$port,$errno,$errstr,10);
if (!$sp)
{
die("could not connect to shout cast server!");
}

set_socket_blocking($sp,false);
fputs($sp,$mpath);
for($i=0; $i<4; $i++)
{

    if(feof($sp)) break; // exit if connection broken
    $sp_data.= fread($sp,31337);
    usleep(500000);
  }

fclose($sp);
return $sp_data
}

good luck

oh still having problems try a http1.1 request.

ie.

www.yahoo.com

GET /index.html HTTP1.1
Host: www.yahoo.com
