Yes! But since one must learn by trying, I will give you some general rules.
Okay, make it work as a function. You need the page url to grab and the word to search. So it's a function with two arguments: function do_it ($page_url , $word) { Then inside the function you fopen() the $page, and ereg($word, $page_contents). If ereg() is succesful, you will 'return the function' to create a link similar to: echo "<a href=\"$page\">$word</a>"; return 1; Or the usual $sql = "INSERT INTO table blah blah blah" using your preferred db query function. -- Julio Nobrega Don't eat the yellow snow.
