Using Variables

[sammykrupa]

I have noticed that everyone here seems to be very fluent in PHP. So here is my PHP problem (complete PHP noob here, watch out):

I would like to use this PHP script (for HTML to TEXT):

http://www.howtocreate.co.uk/php/dnld.php?file=0&action=1

The notes of the code say:

"To use this library, put the following line in your script before the part that needs it:

require('PATH_TO_THIS_FILE/html2text.php');"

I would be very happy if someone here could tell me how to enter the variable of the URL into this script. The way I would want to do it would be to have a webpage were you could enter a URL and have it converted.

Thanks!

the instructions are pretty clear. upload the html2text.php script to your server. then in whatever scripts you write that you wish to use the fucntion do:

<?php
require('PATH_TO_THIS_FILE/html2text.php');
$textVersion = html2text($HTMLversion);
?>

"PATH_TO_THIS_FILE" is the absolute server path to where you uploaded it. $HTMLversion is the path to the HTML document you wish to convert. $textVersion is the returned text version.
