I'm trying to parse information from fonefinder.net. I was trying to use simplexmlload_file, but couldn't get the page to load successfully.
Now, I'm looking into Curl. But I'm not sure if this will work either.
I basically just want to take the html from the fonefinder page, and parse it to get phone carrier and city.
Is that possible? How?
SimpleXML will only work if the HTML is formatted correctly - and that is rarely the case ;) You could do a simple cURL call to fetch the data and the easiest thing would probably be using a regular expression to get the information you need.
The solution however is not easy to supply you with, with nothing to go on. But this was an idea.
I Recommend using:
http://www.de.php.net/manual/en/function.file-get-contents.php to get the document
http://www.php.net/manual/en/domdocument.loadhtml.php to load it
http://www.php.net/manual/en/class.domxpath.php to get the information from it
Or use the search function here, that question must have been asked over and over, for example PHP: Fetch content from a html page using xpath()
