file_get_contents

Richardtagger

Hi, im making a browser within browser (dont bother asking why), but the problem is when i use file_get_contents, it works, however, the original HTML doesnt use absolute locations of images etc... so it tries to look for them on my server 🙁.

I tried using str_replace to change it but i cant distinguish between things which are relative and absolute references.... could someone please help me out there? Thanx

this is how the html on their site was written, if you want the right urls rewritten, you will need to use [man]pcre[/man] function to see which urls are relative paths to their site, and rewrite them appropriately.

i got this so far:

<html>
<?php
$url = $_GET['url'];
if ($url == ""){
$url = $_POST['neturl'];
}
$httptest = substr("$url",0,7);
if ($url != "") {
if ($httptest == "http://")
{} else {
$url = "http://".$url;
}
}
?>
<form action="index.php" method="post" name="netform" id="netform">
  <input name="neturl" type="text" id="neturl" value="<?php echo $url; ?>" size="50" maxlength="255">
  <input type="submit" name="Submit" value="Go">
</form>
<hr>
<?php
$pagedata = file_get_contents($url);

//show page
echo $pagedata;
?>
</html>

Could you give me an example of how to look for patterns and replace them? Cos iv tried some string replacement but as HTML can vary so much with examples such as " src =, src=, "src=" " ", etc.. all being the same.. so nromal str_replace wont work and i cnat figrure out preg replace.. thanx.
