Is there any way to retrieve data (for example - the text *within* a table)
from another URL so that only the text appears and not the html (tables,
cells, colors, etc.)

Below is a script which opens and reads a URL and then outputs the complete
URL.

I am just looking for the text output.

Thank you in advance.

<?
$theurl="http://www.blah.com";;
if (!($fp=fopen($theurl, "r")))
 {
  echo "Could not open the URL";
  exit;
 }
$contents= fread($fp, 1000000);
fclose($fp);
echo "$contents";
echo "<br>"."This information retrieved from<br>"."<a
href=\"$theurl\">$theurl</a><br>"."on ".(date("l jS F Y g:i a T"));
?>
</body>
