Question

With php file_get_contents() i want just only the post and image. But it’s get whole page. (I know there is other way to do this)

Example:

$homepage = file_get_contents('http://www.bdnews24.com/details.php?cid=2&id=221107&hb=5', 
true);
echo $homepage;

It’s show full page. Is there any way to show only the post which cid=2&id=221107&hb=5.

Thanks a lot.

Answer 1

Use PHP’s DomDocument to parse the page. You can filter it more if you wish, but this is the general idea.

$url = 'http://www.bdnews24.com/details.php?cid=2&id=221107&hb=5';
// Create new DomDocument
$doc = new DomDocument();
$doc->loadHTMLFile($url);


// Get the post
$post = $doc->getElementById('opage_mid_left');


var_dump($post);

Update:
Unless the image is a requirement, I’d use the printer-friendly version: http://www.bdnews24.com/pdetails.php?id=221107, it’s much cleaner.
