Thank you Jason. I'm still trying to figure out how to implement the strip_tags() function on the script below so that the output of the URL is straight text.
Please advise if you get a chance. TR ................................................. <html> <head> <title>Retrieving text from a URL</title> </head> <body> <? $theurl="http://www.blah.com"; if (!($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> </html> -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
