Re: [PHP] Can I perform a PHP script from a form but stay on the same page afterwards?

[Charles Fowler]

Check out Liz Fulgham article on PHP and Forms ->>
http://softwaredev.earthweb.com/script/article/0,,12063_996351,00.html

It show how the _SERVER fuction/varible is used.

[PHP] How can I strip the code from HTML pages to extract the contents of a HTML page.

[Charles Fowler]

This may be an interesting challenge for someone or has it been done
before

Can some one help me.

I am looking for a laboursaving method of extracting the contents of a
web page (Text only) and dumping the rest of the html code.

I need the contents to rework the pages and put the contents into flat
file database. Large but only two columns of data. Simple to work with
(no need for DB) - They are just alot of links on a links page.

Scripts would be welcome.

Ciao, Carlos

Re: [PHP] How can I strip the code from HTML pages to extract thecontents of a HTML page.

[Charles Fowler]

I was looking into stripping HTML files that contain alot of links. I
was trying to avoid the manual way of data entry. The contents i need
are the name of the link (plain text which sits out side the HTML code)
and all the a href tags. I would like the a href  (ie.the hyperlink)
tags to be displayed on the HTML output as plain text. All other HTML
tags would be kept in place.

The reason why I am doing this is that I am placing a link's name and
the http:// link in to flat files, where they can be updated just by
appending to them. The srcipt that I have does the rest.

I have looked into the functions suggested but do find the concepts and
use of the opperators to strip the HTML involved esoteric and tricky.

Re: [PHP] and or statement

[Charles Fowler]

 PHP and MYSQL Web Development manual by Welling and Thompson states 
that logical operators are as follows:
___
Operator    Name   
Use
Result
___
!   
NOT   !$b
Returns true if $b is false
and vice versa
&&   
AND  $a &&
$b   Returns true
if both $ a and $b are true; otherwise false
| |   
OR
$a | | $b   Returns
true if either $ a or $b
are true; otherwise false
and  
AND  $a and $b   
Same as && but with lower precedence
or  
OR    $a
or $b  Same as | |
but with lower precedence
___
Just wanted to touch on the matter of the little fact that " and " and
" or " can be used in PHP but the order of precedence.
Hope this is helpful
