Hi I just started PHP about 2 weeks ago and learned the basics and also MYSQL

I need a little help on my first project. I want to print content from wiktionary after a word is searched. Like ninjawords

This is probably too broad a question for the forum, but you'll want to look into cURL to pull the site content as a string. Something like the following will get you the content of a given URI:

$uri_to_get = 'http://www.wiktionary.org/some_page.html';

$ch = curl_init( $uri_to_get );

curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HEADER , 0);

$site_content = curl_exec($ch);

thanks for your reply.. but I don't understand any of that code... maybe I'm no ready for this one yet.. hmm

maybe you can point out any php tut for intermediate php. I mean I read the beginner stuff. but I don't know whats next.

thanks in advanced! 😃
