Getting text

[Cagez]

Is there a way I can get the first few lines from a remote website?

[mmilano]

the file() function takes each line of the target into an array ..

$array=file("http://somesite.com/index.html");

$array[0] would contain the first line
$array[1] would contain the second line

etc ...

it might be messy depending on how they code, but that is one way to do it.
