Hi,

I must read an HTML-free web page. The only documentation I have is this : :

temp: This request will return an HTML-free web page, consisting of a
simple ASCII string of pipe-delimited data. The data will be in the
format of :

"PROBE1_NAME|TE MP|PROBE2_NAME| TEMP…"

How can I do ?

Thanks

Hi,

What is it you want to do with that data?
Do you want it displayed on a HTML-containing webpage?

if so: use explode

http://nl2.php.net/manual/en/function.explode.php

eg:

mysterystring = "PROBE1_NAME|TE MP|PROBE2_NAME| TEMP…";
$parts =

Sorry, my KNode decided to post without my permission. :-(

This is what I wanted to write:

$mysterystring = "PROBE1_NAME|TE MP|PROBE2_NAME| TEMP…";
$parts = explode("|" , $mysterystring) ;

Now parts[0] is PROBE1_NAME
parts[1] is TEMP
parts[2] is PROBE2_NAME
etc.

Good luck.

I assume you have one of these:

http://www.sensatronics.com/products_modelecom.php

This was discussed in here a while ago, the product uses a built-in
mini-server that doesn't send any headers with the data. This means you
can't use any PHP functions that need headers to assist access to the
data. The solution is to use fsockopen and manually send a GET request:


$fp = fsockopen( $IP, 80, $errno, $errstr, 30 );
if (!$fp) {
echo "$errstr ($errno)<br />\n";
} else {
$out = "GET /temp/ HTTP/1.1\r\n";
$out .= "Host: $IP\r\n";
$out .= "Connection : Close\r\n\r\n";

fwrite($fp, $out);
while (!feof($fp)) {
echo fgets($fp, 128);
}
fclose($fp);
}

For the full text see:

Do you mean something like following ?

$txt = file_get_conten ts('http://www.somewhere.n et/page.html');
$token = explode ('|', $txt);
var_dump ($token);
