trying to parse a URL and write html code to a file, then search the file

function below, and regular expressions to read the specific conent.  thx

or is there a php function that can return the TITLE of a URL?

<?php
$string = implode("", file($url));
$fp = fopen("temp.txt", "w");
fwrite($fp, $string);
fclose($fp);

i would read in the entire file, and use a 'regular expression' such as ereg() http://nl.php.net/manual/nl/function.ereg.php explained on http://www.phpbuilder.com/columns/dario19990616.php3

or preg_match http://nl.php.net/manual/nl/function.preg-match.php

I think this may work, with the $string from your code:
$pattern="/<title>(.*)<\/title>/i";
preg_match($pattern, $string, $matches);
$title=$matches[1];
echo $title;
