get all text in div

Hi just windering we need to get all the html code inside the following div using a php script

Code:

<body>

<div id="entry"></div>

</body>

the page is on another server, and we don't have access to the ftp and it changes every 2 hours, so I was thinking using a ping file that runs every 2 hours, (I would set that up in cpanel)

the file url looks like
http://www.example.com/blog.php

Thanks

Try this:

PHP Code:


		
			
<?php

$ch = curl_init();



curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, "http://www.example.com/blog.php");

curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, TRUE);



$content = curl_exec($ch);

if (preg_match('/<div(.*?)>(.*?)<\/div>/is', $content, $matches) {

    echo $matches[2];

} else {

    echo 'Nothing found!';

}

So consider you have this page:

Code:

<html>

<head>

    <title>Some title</title>

</head>

<body>

    <div id="entry">Some random text</div>

</body>

</html>

Then the PHP script will output: "Some random text".
