search str for text

MJB3K · Jan 23, 2006

Hi, how would i go about getting the title text from a page.

e.g. i am opening pages to get the source code, i want to be able to get the title of the page. say if the str was:

Code:

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN">
<html>
<head>
 <title>PHP: Hypertext Preprocessor</title>
.. more body text here

How would i be able to get the PHP: Hypertext Preprocessor from the str and assign it to a var?

Any ideas??

Regards,

Martin

Forgive me if this isn't as optimal as it could be...

Code:

$mydata = '<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN">';
$mydata .= "\r\n";
$mydata .= '<html>';
$mydata .= "\r\n";
$mydata .= '<head>';
$mydata .= "\r\n";
$mydata .= '<title>PHP: Hypertext Preprocessor</title>';
$mydata .= "\r\n";
$start = strpos($mydata, '<title>') + 7;
$end = strpos($mydata, '</title>') - $start;
[b]echo substr($mydata, $start, $end);[/b]

Cheers,
Jeff

Have a look at the strstr() and substr() functions.

I think the original poster means different pages with different titles.

You should look into regular expressions: preg_match(), ereg(), etc...
