Get source n search

guest

ive been looking for a script that will search through a sites source to find some text and if its there to display some text if not, display other text.

I first saw this on a script of someone site that you entered the url and it searched to see if there was the "mailto:" link on them page it would display it. Im was thinking of using that script to find some text in a pages source, but now i dont know where the site went. So if you know of it can you please post it 🙂

this is the closest i got and it dosent seem to work 🙁

<?php
$url = $_GET['url'];
$file = fopen($url, "r");

while (!feof($file)) {
   $content = fgets($file);
   if (eregi('<META HTTP-EQUIV="Refresh" CONTENT="', $content)) {
      $isworking = true;
   }
}

if($isworking = true){ echo " is a working yousendit.com link! ^_^";
} else { echo "is not a working yousendit.com link. :-("; }

fclose($file);
?>

You should most likely be using:

[manual]file_get_contents/manual

Then, search for a string. Here's a small class I wrote to get the Department of Homeland Security Threat Level and output a stupid page.

<?php
class Advisory
{
	var $txtcolor;
	var $bgcolor;
	var $level;
	var $contents;

function level_switch($level)
{
	switch($level)
	{
		case 'SEVERE':
			$this->bgcolor = '#FF0000';
			$this->txtcolor = '#FFFFFF';
			break;
		case 'HIGH':
			$this->bgcolor = '#FF9900';
			$this->txtcolor = '#000000';
			break;
		case 'ELEVATED':
			$this->bgcolor = '#FFFF00';
			$this->txtcolor = '#000000';
			break;
		case 'GUARDED':
			$this->bgcolor = '#669900';
			$this->txtcolor = '#000000';
			break;
		case 'LOW':
			$this->bgcolor = '#009900';
			$this->txtcolor = '#000000';
			break;
	}
	$page = '<html>
<head>
  <title>Threat Level: '.$this->level.'</title>
</head>
  <body bgcolor="'.$this->bgcolor.'">
    <font color="'.$this->txtcolor.'">The current U.S. Security Threat Level is:<br>
    <b>'.$this->level.'</b></font>
  </body>
</html>';
		return $page;
	}

function getAdvisory()
{
	$this->contents = @file_get_contents("http://www.dhs.gov/dhspublic/getAdvisoryCondition");
	if(!$this->contents)
	{
		return "Unable to Connect!";
	}
	else
	{
		$this->contents = explode("\n", $this->contents);
		$this->contents = $this->contents[1];
		$this->level = strstr($this->contents, '="');
		$this->level = substr($this->level, 2, -5);
		return $this->level;
	}
}
}

$advisory =& new Advisory;
$level = $advisory->getAdvisory();
echo $advisory->level_switch($level);
?>

Don't mind the deprecated HTML and sloppy HTML code. I threw it together as a test to see if I could get what I wanted. When I go to implement it, I will clean it up.

Basically, this script reads the source of http://www.dhs.gov/dhspublic/getAdvisoryCondition and returns it in a variable. From there I break it down into workable parts. I remove the opening xml tag with the explode and select only the line I need. Then I select only from the "=" sign and over, and trim it to get just the text between the =" and the " />". Then I use that to run through a quick switch() that sets the background & text. Once that's done, it's all over, and I output it.

You can view a more workable example here (top right corner of site): v2 of a Test Site
