matthew9090 Posted November 23, 2010 Share Posted November 23, 2010 i am making a search engine and i need help because i need it so you submit your url then it automatically scrolls it for the description and keywords then puts it in the database. my html code: <form action="submit_url.php" method="get"> <input type="text" name="url" value="url" /> <input type="submit" name="submit" value="submit" /> </form> php code so far: <html> <head> <title>submitting url: <?php $url = $_GET['url']; echo $url; ?></title> <link href="style.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" /> </head> <body> <?php echo "Submitting <b>$url</b>"; $url = fopen("http://knexideas.co.cc", "r") or exit("Unable to open"); while (!feof($url)) { fgetc($url); } fclose($url); ?> </body> </html> all it does is reads the website if you put 'echo $url' at the bottom it just reads and prints the web page.

jdavidbakr Posted November 24, 2010 Share Posted November 24, 2010 i am making a search engine and i need it so when you submit your url it scrolls the page for any keywords and descriptions and puts that into the database Currently you're not processing the page at all as you read it. You've got a lot of code to write still. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jim_keller Posted November 24, 2010 Share Posted November 24, 2010 if you need to parse an HTML page, it's probably worth looking at simplehtmldom, which makes the process much much easier: http://simplehtmldom.sourceforge.net/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
