Load URL into a string

[90Nz0]

I would like to load all the code of a website into a string, say, $info, and then use a 'replace' on it....

Can anyone help?

One way to do it is to use file() function(which grabs the page into array). If you want the page as a single string, you can use implode() function to glue the array.

$lines=file('http://www.site.com/index.htm');
$info=implode('',$lines);

Thanks for your help.

Now... I wish to leave out the first 30 lines, do you know how to do this?

Im not sure if theres a better way to do this but here goes..:

$lines=file('http://www.site.com/index.htm');
for($i=29;$i<count($lines);$i++) {
$info.=$lines[$i];
}

But in my opinion, you should do the replace inside the for-loop:

$lines=file('http://www.site.com/index.htm');
for($i=29;$i<count($lines);$i++) {
$currline=str_replace('black','white',$lines[$i]);
$info.=$currline;
}

Thanks, it worked a charm.

Do you know how to replace words that are outside of <> tags?
