[Urgent]
Hi ,
I am trying to extract text from a website using file_get_contents('url'),no issues with that.
Thing is that I am not getting expected output of it..And the reason I see is that ,if the url is generally opened,first home page flashes and while the page is still loading another/final set of information is displayed. So,final information is only displayed once the page is finally loaded.While the file_get_contents() function returns initial text/content of the website...
What all can be done,such that file_get_contents('url') extracts data only and ONLY after page stops loading and is fully loaded. I think a function like onpageload etc does not exist in PHP,not sure.. Please guide me with tips/code snippets/links etc .. Any help will be greatly appreciated.
In short,I want the content of website,only after its fully loaded and want the file_get_contents('url') execute only after 'url' is fully loaded. Thanks
Thanks a lot.Please let me know,if any part of the problem statement remains unclear.Thanks again..

you might look into stream_get_contents()

it has you call fopen() first then it reads the stream from that. And that might allow the page to render first then be read in full

Hope it help.

Why are you using file_get_contents to read the page in, then send it to the client?

You could just send the file to the client and wait for a user's action.

PHP will execute the entire script - or until it hits an error, exit, or die - then it will send it to the client.

You get only one page of output at a time.
