Screen Scraping
- by Sambo
Hi I'm trying to implement a screen scraping scenario on my website and have the following set so far. What I'm ultimately trying to do is replace all links in the $results variable that have "ResultsDetails.aspx?" to "results-scrape-details/" then output again. Can anyone point me in the right direction?
<?php
$url = "http://mysite:90/Testing/label/stuff/ResultsIndex.aspx";
$raw = file_get_contents($url);
$newlines = array("\t","\n","\r","\x20\x20","\0","\x0B");
$content = str_replace($newlines, "", html_entity_decode($raw));
$start = strpos($content,"<div id='pageBack'");
$end = strpos($content,'</body>',$start) + 6;
$results = substr($content,$start,$end-$start);
$pattern = 'ResultsDetails.aspx?';
$replacement = 'results-scrape-details/';
preg_replace($pattern, $replacement, $results);
echo $results;
