HELP! Extract text from web page

[Tesla]

Hey guys, i need help on writing PHP code to go to an HTML page
(http://example:8343/index.html), and pass the text on that page onto a
variable. I dont know how to do this.

What i plan to do is parse through the variable to look for a list of some
things so i can display it on my page. Can anyone please help? Thanks

<?php
$html_in_site = implode("\n", file('http://example:8343/index.html'));
// now parse $html_in_site
?>

fopen() can also open URLs

maybe you need CURL ( @ http://www.php.net/curl )

Or $html_in_site = file_get_conten ts('http://example:8343/index.html'); if
you have PHP 4.3.0+.
