Fetching variables from another web page

[Anon]

I need to fetch some result from a web page, and put it into variables.

What i do is opening a socket to the web page, but the problem is that the web page may change, depending on the result from my posting. However the variables i need to fetch is listet like this:

onumber=987654321
playnumber=12345678
prevnumber=123456
amount=256

As i said the order of the variables may change and there may be other variables mixed into this.

So basicly what i think i need to do is to fetch all the variables into arrays, and program it like that the left from the"=" is the variable name and the right of the "=" is the variable value. I have never done anything like this before, and do not know of functions to do this, so i hope somebody can help me with this. I also need to get rid of the headers in the result page.

Thanx

well there are a few ways to handle this. One slow way, but a way that would work is to load the page into an array. It splits the page at each new line (file()), then do an explode of each line. Explode() take a string and seperates it into an array by the delimiter. Which in your case would be '='.
so:

$someArray = explode("=",$fileArray[someline]);

Then ->

$someArray[0] would be your 'onumber' while $someArray[1] would be the value.

Kinda messy and not the best way, but hopefully someone here can improve on it.
