Web Catching

This is based off of a tut I read, http://www.devhome.org/php/tutorials/webcatching.html

The problem I'm having is with the $search function. The quotation marks in the font code that I need the script to search between are causing an error message "Parse error: parse error, unexpected T_LNUMBER in line 25"
Line 25 is $search = eregi("<td>(.*)</td>", $read, $money);

Is there another way to format it so that it will work correctly?

<?
$id = $_REQUEST['id'] ;
if (!isset($_REQUEST['id'])) {
?>
<html>
<head>
<title>Id Page</title>
</head>
<body bgcolor="black" text="green">
<form method="post" action="outwarid.php">
ID: <input name="id" type="text" > 
<input type="submit">
</form>
</body>
</html>
<?
}
else {
$open = fopen("http://torax.***********/id.php?id=$id", "r");

$read = fread($open, 15000);

fclose($open);

$search = eregi("<td>(.*)</td>", $read, $money);

$money[1] = str_replace(" ","", $money[1]);

$content = $money[1];
$content = explode("·", $content);

$headlines = sizeof($content);

for ($i = 0; $i < $headlines; $i++) {

print "Money: $content[$i]";

}
}

?>
<html>
<head>
<title>Test Page</title>
</head>
<body bgcolor="black" text="green">
</body>
</html>

You need to escape the quotes, or don't use double quotes.

$search = eregi("<td>(.*)</td>", $read, $money);

...becomes...

$search = eregi("<td>(.*)</td>", $read, $money);

...or...

$search = eregi('<td>(.*)</td>', $read, $money);

Hope that helps.

Thanks, that worked perfectly.

Now I've come into a new problem. The page that is being searched has multiple instances of the same code but the numbers, which change, are different and I need the first number(512)
Ex.<td>512</td>
<td>256

When I use this to search the file
$search = eregi("<td>(.*)", $read, $money);

It will give something like this
512</td>
<td>256

Is there a way to tell the search to stop at the first ""?

Ignore this post now, a stupid mistake I made.

Try

preg_match('#followers\.php\?id=(.*?)">UNDERLINGS#', $read, $id);
//instead of
eregi("followers.php?(.*)\">UNDERLINGS</a>", $read, $id);

If this doesn't help, try to read the FULL file, instead of only the first 150'000 bytes.

Btw., your post-processing of the match doesn't make any sense to me.

Dumpfi, thanks for the help but the page I was having that problem with turned out to be unnecessary. Does anyone have some ideas on my problem with the searching?(second post I made)

Change the part you quoted to this:
$search = eregi("<td>(.*?)", $read, $money);

The (subtle) difference is the addition of the question mark to the greedy wildcard match (.*)
