grabbing html from a separate page using php

[ultra]

please, please, please help me.

i've tried 4cm and Contentgrabber v1.5, both "kinda" work for me but the images didnt show up. please help me

this is a little related to keith's post: http://www.freewebspace.net/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=8507

"if you right click the page and hit 'properties', you'll see the page reads as keith.wzr.net. so it appears that keith.wzr.net is a real domain rather than a redirect.

but if you right click on an image and hit 'properties', you'll see it reads 'keith.wzr.net/imagename.jpg'. so not only does it load the html through the subdomain, it looks like the subdomain is actually hosting the images. "

thanks in advance

if you can do this perl, it's a lot easier.

use LWP::Simple;

$page = get($URL);
@text = split(/\n/, $page);

That's all I know.

thanks for the quickest reply!

ok, i see variables where do i put the url? and what's the extension of the file .pl?

well, you can put the URL in get(""); in the "".
Have a variable be assigned to this.

i.e. you want to grab freewebspace.net/forums:

use LWP::Simple;

Put that at the top of your page after #!/usr/bin/perl

then use:

$page = get("http://www.freewebspace.net/forums/");

#!/usr/bin/perl

# get modules LWP and CGI
use LWP::Simple; # for grabbing stuff
use CGI qw/:param/ # so you can use forms, etc.

print "Content-type: text/html\n\n"; # print content-type


# if you want to get a URL from the user and have it print it out

$URL = param("URL"); # file.cgi?URL=whatever -- the variable will recieve "whatever"

if ($URL){ # check if URL is empty. if it is, print out the form
print<<FORM;
<form action="file.cgi">
Enter URL: <input type=text name="URL">
</form>
FORM

# the block above allows you to expand and not use "" all the time --^
}
# this block of code gets the page and prints it out
else { getprint($URL) }
