Question

In php I need to get the contents of a url (source) search for a string ‘maybe baby love you’ and if it does not contain this then do x.

Answer 1

Just read the contents of the page as you would read a file. PHP does the connection stuff for you. Then just look for the string via regex or simple string comparison.

$url = 'http://my.url.com/'; $data = file_get_contents( $url );  if ( strpos( 'maybe baby love you', $data ) === false ) {      // do something  }
