I am trying to download a file and strip the HTML code from it. I tried a straight fgetss after fopen and it returned an empty string. So I tried caching the file and that didn't work either.

Another thing, I think it would be a good idea to allow openning wrappers through a proxy server. The service ports are blocked on my machine and everything has to go through a proxy server!

Failing that.. what commands do I need to type if I open a socket with my proxy server (for downloading an HTML file)


<FORM ACTION="<?echo $PHP_SELF?>" METHOD="POST">
<p>ENTER URL:<INPUT TYPE="text" NAME="url" value="http://">
<input type=submit value="Convert">
<input type=reset>
<?
        if (isset($url)){
                $text = file($url);
                $size = sizeof($text);
                $name = tempnam("/home/httpd/html/temp", "dnload");
                $fp = fopen($name, "w");
                if (!fp){
                        echo "error, Cannot open $name<br>";
                }else{
                        for ($x = 0; $x < $size; $x++){
                                echo $text[$x];
                                fwrite($fp, $text[$x]);
                        }

                        rewind($fp);                        $size = filesize($name);
                        echo "size = $size<br>";
                        $text2 = fgetss($fp, $size);
                        echo "text = \"$text2\"";
                        fclose($fp);
                        unlink($name);
                }
        }
?>
