You should provide a bit more information than "it's not working".
It helps immensely to know exactly *how* it isn't working. That 
said, here's what sprang immediately to mind from the code below:

                        ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Two things: 1) filesize() takes a filename, not a file descriptor
resource, as an argument; and 2) filename() doesn't work on remote
files. Check the manual page for more information:

  http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.filesize.php

> eregi("^{<font color=green><b>}{.*}{</b></font>}$", $line, $out)

First, you need a semicolon at the end of the line--but I think that's
just a typo. ;)

Second: unless you're actually searching for curly braces, remove them.
They are special characters in regexes and if you're going to include
them, they'll need to be escaped.

Third: I gather that you're trying to get the content of the bold tag
here--if so, you'll need to encompass the '.*' with parentheses, so that
its value is copied into $out.

Ultimately, your line should look something like the one below:

if (eregi("^<font color=green><b>(.*)</b></font>$", $line, $out)) {
    print_r($out);
} else {
    echo "Failed\n";
}


Hope this helps,
