you may want to try fopen($filename, "r&quot

;
$fc = @file($filename); ***************************************

Nope - - I tried it and it just sends me to the geo link, it doesn't actually get the info from the page.

Code:

<?php 
/* 
overview of code.
To submit info to a website via above form, utilize Php to loop through website out put, to find and echo Lat. and Long. points.
*/ 
/* get site info*/

$filename = &quot;[URL unfurl="true"]http://www.geocode.com/scripts/eagle/eagle.pl/&quot;;[/URL]
fopen($filename, &quot;r&quot;);
$fc = @file($filename);

$full_contents = @implode(&quot;&quot;,$fc);

/*looping through html of site to find line 241 and 252 then echo both lines*/
while (list($line, $content)=each($fc)) {
     if($line == 241) {
          $lat = &quot;$content&quot;;
     }

     if($line == 252) {
          $long = &quot;$content&quot;;
     }
}

echo $lat;
echo $long;

?>
</BODY>
</HTML>

OK, this actually works .. But not with the URL you have supplied. (you need to miss the trailing / and login first I guess)

<?php

$sourcefile="your_source_file";
$file = fopen("$sourcefile", "r&quot

;

if (!$file)
{
echo "<p>Unable to open remote file.\n";
exit;
} else {

$fcontents = file($sourcefile);

while (list ($line_num, $line) = each ($fcontents))
{

if ($line_num == "241&quot

{

$lat = $line;

} else{

if ($line_num == "252&quot

{

$long = $line;

}
}

}

echo $lat;
echo $long;
$fp=fclose($file);

}

?> ***************************************

I tried what your code, but like you said it doesn't work, I previously used a code that would use post to submit the variables to the sites URL, which is how the company used to have it set up, but the company changed its site, now the site itself uses post to submit the variables to a file "eagle.pl". I can post the varibles from my site to the "eagle.pl" file, the issue is, after I post I visually get the output to the monitor, I want the output(Html) from the site to be put into my variable "$sourcefile" so I can search it via (while loop)..? Can you help..?

site info..
The site allows you to test the software

http://www.geocode.com/eagle.html

it posts your info to

http://www.geocode.com/scripts/eagle/eagle.pl

at which time you submit the info to the server

My original script was setup to skip the first page and post directly from..

http://www.geocode.com/scripts/eagle/eagle.pl

Thanks
