Question

I am new to php curl, can you help me to write code for grabbing gold value from this page http://www.domain.com/gold.php

from following line i just want 27742.00

Gold price today in India (Rs/10gm) is 27742.00 (-67)

Does it require HTML parser or just curl can do it alone?

Thanks for your help.

Answer 1

Regex can do this for you.

preg_match('#Gold price today in India <b>\(Rs\/10gm\)</b> is <b>([0-9\.]+)#', file_get_contents('http://www.marketonmobile.com/gold_price_india.php'), $matches);
echo 'The price is: '.$matches[1];
