Complicated Question

bsweet

Ok I have developed a site literally from scratch in notepad. I have researched everything I have needed and figured it out except one thing. I am working on website that I need to have a portion of an external website displayed in my website.

Is there any PHP code I can use to snip a portion of an external website and put it on my website. It is a form so the user would need to be able to fill it out and click the link.

For instance, (this is not what I am doing) if I wanted to display the actual search box from google without all the rest of the stuff on the page, could it be done with out XML or RSS (which are not options in my situation)?

Thanks!

For this you could simply create a form with the same field names and use GET to the URL of Google's search.

Other means would be to use [man]file_get_contents[/man] and parse the data for display on your web site or inline XHTML frames.

Yes, you could indeed parse the XML of, as in your example, an RSS feed and manipulate it to show as you desire using something like SimpleXML.
