[Resolved] Grabbing the <TITLE> tags

[blanius]

Anyone have a simple function for pulling the Title of a page from a page on the server?

I was playing with fgets but it seems I'm getting overly complicated.

What I'm trying to do is provide a simple listing of the titles of all html pages in a certain directory and provide links to them.

www.php.net/fsockopen
www.php.net/eregi
www.php.net/strpos
www.php.net/substr

Thta should be a start... theres a good example of how to get the contents of a webpage on the fsockopen() page...

but it didn't occur to you to suggest the stringbetween function on your site?

probably because your problem seemed more with connecting to the site.

anyway, that function would probably be overkill, since it is designed to work with multiple occurences, while <title> should only occur once on a page.

<?php
//only need to replace [url]www.mundoclic.com[/url] with the 
//url to grab from. 
//In BEFORE and AFTER CODE insert the tags 
//between the information to grab 
//thats all. coments to [email][e-mail][/email] 
//Enjoy! 

$file = fopen("http://www.mundoclic.com", "r"); 
$rf = fread($file, 20000); 
$grab = eregi("BEFORE CODE(.*)AFTER CODE", 
$printing[1] = str_replace("#cccc99", "white", $printing[1]); 
fclose($file); 
echo $printing[1]; 
?>

No I was able to open the file ok, was looking for a good method for extracting of the TITLE of the page was all. The file name is derived from a directory search that I've done, looking for all HTML files in a known directory, what I'm trying to do is to make a list of links to those files using the TITLE of each as the link text.

This looks like what I need, Had a feeling the eregi was the likey way to go but I just can't seem to wrap my head around regular expression still.

Thanks
