Question

I was trying to extract table where class is snapshot-table2
It return empty blank page.

Wondering what’s wrong?

$output = file_get_contents('http://finviz.com/quote.ashx?t=ROK&ty=c&ta=1&p=d&b=1');

$ismatch= preg_match('|<table width="100%" cellpadding="3" cellspacing="0" border="0" class="snapshot-table2">(.*?)</table>|si', $output, $matchresult);


if($ismatch)
{
    echo '<pre>';
        print_r($matchresult);
        echo '</pre>';

    //$processpeg= $matchresult[0];
}

exit;

Make sure allow_url_fopen is enabled so you can use a URL as a parameter to file_get_contents. Test if it is:

echo 'allow_url_fopen = ' . ini_get('allow_url_fopen');
