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: > <?php > > $file=fopen("http://somedomain/time.html", "r"); > if (!$file) > > echo "error when connect\n"; > exit; > } > $line = fread ($file, filesize ($file)); ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Two things: 1) filesize() takes a filename, not a file descriptor resource, as an argument; and 2) filename() doesn't work on remote files. Check the manual page for more information: http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.filesize.php > eregi("^{<font color=green><b>}{.*}{</b></font>}$", $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, Torben > echo "$out[1]"; > fclose($file); > ?> > > > Robby -- Torben Wilson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> http://www.thebuttlesschaps.com http://www.hybrid17.com http://www.inflatableeye.com +1.604.709.0506 -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To contact the list administrators, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
