Take numbers / text from another website.

Hey.

I need to copy the last 2 sets of numbers from this url
https://www.molten-wow.com/?display=info

so I can put each one into a php variable

Can this be done?

Thanks

[Frankey]

it can! The file you refering to is XML, so i suggest you'd use simplexml, you can google it, or here is a great manual!

Thanks for the reply but I still dont see how to do it. That link looks way to complicated to take a few numberS?

you need a regular expression to take what you need. The next thing is how you get the file to do so. I really dont know how php can do screen scrapping. cgi's is very simple. Thus python or perl .

try php curl functions ok.?

<?php 
$numbers = file_get_contents("https://www.molten-wow.com/?display=info");
echo $numbers;

echo $numbers;

btw to store each number in a variable you will need regex
