Get the file code with PHP

[yankleber]

Hey there!

Well, I have a huge list of links (URL) that when clicked returns to the screen a table with some informations like name, address, email, etc.

I need to read this data and save it to a MySQL database, however I would like to take it directly from the generated file code (as if I would right-click the screen and chose "view file code").

So, my question is: there is a way to get the file code and store it somewhere (like a variable that can be scanned)?

Thanks!

Hi, thanks for the help, but I think that I was not so much clear in my question.
I am not looking for a way to read an external text file to a string, but the HTML sent by the server.

When you run a PHP script what it does? It generates a HTML code and send to the browser, right??? Well, I want that this code be sent to a variable instead the browser. If it's not possible, I want a way to get the code of a page, as if I right-click the page and chose "view file code".

Is this possible?

Thanks!

yeah... you'll want to read up on [man]ob_start/man, [man]ob_get_contents/man and [man]ob_end_clean/man.
