help with curl

sarmenhb · 08-03-2008, 10:22 PM

im trying to figure out how to parse email addresses from a webpage
this is how far i got.

Code:

<?php 
$ch = curl_init(); 

curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, 'http://www.google.com'); 
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1); ;
$data = curl_exec($ch); 
curl_close($ch); 

?>

the variable $data holds the html source code and i tryed using preg_match to look for the email and print it out.
can someone show me a sample code on how to do this

thanks

Well, first of all you need to.... HOLD UP. If I get any spam from any script you're about to write, I will cURL your address and egg your house, I promise.

well, im not directly trying to make a email parser. im trying to figure out how to parse certain things.

for example if i wanted to parse out all the keywords that were used on a certain page. how do i display those out nicely on the screen.

well...you parse the content

Use regex if nothing else is available. What are we supposed to tell you?

PHP Code:


			
preg_match('/\b(.*?@.*?\.[a-z\.]{2,6})\b/si', $data, $matches);

This is the most basic regex you could use, I think.

PS: why did you open 2 threads for this?

no one was responding.

so basically the variable holds the html and i can use a loop to loop through it and output what i need right?
