good evening dear community.
I need a starting-point! A German DB that collects all the data from all German Foundations…
see this url here – just click it to see a search page
<?php
//
// The PHP curl module supports the received page to be returned in a variable
// if told.
//
$ch = curl_init();
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL,"http://www.suche.stiftungen.org/index.php?strg=87_124&baseID=129&PHPSESSID=efd25e89a4986cb0981c602fc7c68780");
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER,1);
$result=curl_exec ($ch);
curl_close ($ch);
?>
Question: Here we find all Foundations in Germany: : 8074 different foundations: You get the full results if you choose % as wildcard in the Search-field. How to do this with PHP: i think that we have to do this with curl or with file_get_contents_ – those are the best methods for doing this: What do you think, personally. I am curious to get your ideas to know! please. lemme know what you think!? BTW – probably – the XPATH and DOM-Technique can be used too. I guess so!?
First approach: see this url here – just click it to see a search page
The way to get through this database is to search (in the search-field) combinations of letters eg “ac” and select search only titles. Then go through every pair of letters. If you still get too many results for a particular pair, use 3 letters. aca, acb,…If i would have a startingpoint i would be happy.
how to enlarge the above written php-code… how to get the variables of my approach into the php-programme…!?
I need to pass the variables as combinations of letters eg “ac” and select search only titles.
Then i have to parse the results – then i have to go through every pair of letters.
look forward to hear from you…

If you want to use % as parameter value in an URL, you need to escape it with
urlencode.
