Question

I want to create a PHP script that grabs the content of a website. So let’s say it grabs all the source code for that website and I say which lines of code I need.

Is there a function in PHP that allows you too do this or is it impossible?

Disclaimer: I’m not going to use this for any illegal purposes at all and not asking you too write any code, just tell me if its possible and if you can how I’d go about doing it. Also I’m just asking in general, not for any specific reason. Thanks! 🙂

Answer 1

file('http://the.url.com') returns an array of lines from a url.

so for the 24th line do this:

$lines = file('http://www.whatever.com');
echo $lines[23];
