Need help extracting strings from webpages using cURL. Where is my code wrong?

[Lexicon]

I'm trying to work on my php skills by creating an online content "finder". I'm using cURL to grab webpage HTML and store it in a variable.

 

I then want my program to find the article title, keywords and the content. I'm using articles from Ezine.

 

here is an example webpage.

 

http://ezinearticles.com/?8-Ways-to-Reduce-Stock-Investment-Risks&id=954266

 

I don't have any problems grabbing the webpage html. But when I try to grab the title, keywords, and content using this code.

 

$title = getbetween($html, "<title>", "</title>");
$keywords = getbetween($html, "<meta name=\"keywords\" content=\"", "\">");
$content  = getbetween($html, "<div id=\"body\">", "</div>");
$content  = "<P>" . getbetween($content . "<E>", "<P>", "<E>");

echo "Title: " . $title . "<P>";
echo "Keywords: " . $keywords . "<P>";
echo "Content: " . $content . "<P>";

 

Only the title comes out of the page, the rest of the values are blank... I'm not sure why the getbetween is only working to extract the title from the html. Does anyone have any ideas why??

 

I tried testing to see if it was grabbing the propper webpage and when I used 'echo $html;' the webpage came out fine on my page..

 

I am totally lost on this, I just want to practice using cURL and my webrequest coding.

 

Thanks for any help, I appreciate it.

what is getbetween?

[Lexicon]

It's just a function to get the string in between two certain values in a string.

 

$string  = "atoz";

echo getbetween($string, "a", "z"); //echoes "to"

never mind, it's a matter of my getbetween function not working correctly.
