Printing certain lines from HTML?

[Anon]

Ok I wanna make this php script that will get the security Advisorys from symantecs website.Here is the url http://securityresponse.symantec.com/

The advisories start at line 142 in there html code, and ends at line 146 so I just need to extract a couple of lines. If you test it out you'll see that it's grabbing there whole page which is shibby.

So here is my code

<?php
$URL=fopen("http://securityresponse.symantec.com/","r");
if (!$URL)
{
echo "error when connect\n";

}
while (!feof($URL))
{
$line = fgets($URL,142);
echo"$line";
}

fclose($URL);

?>

I noticed they have some very handy commented code that you can use to your advantage to parse out the rest of the page.

<?php
$fcontents = implode (' ', file('http://securityresponse.symantec.com'));

$start = strpos($fcontents,"<!-- SECURITY ADVISORIES LIST start -->");
$end = strpos($fcontents,"<!-- SECURITY ADVISORIES LIST end -->");

$fcontents = substr($fcontents,$start,$end - $start);

echo $fcontents;

?>

Walaah!
