Re: Getting data from a web page

Hello,

on 01/30/2008 06:34 PM laredotornado@xxxxxxxxxxx said the following:
I'm using php 4.4.4. What I want to do is hopefully simple. If I
type this URL into my browser:

http://maps.google.com/maps/geo?q=980+PEMART+AVE+PEEKSKILL,+NY+10566&output=csv&;

key=ABQIAAAAuHEWowxYzDRtZwy5bJee6RRepaxJ09NBCcZ4ddHPnTvG1CBwlxTqGOXX0DHtp5WHcsP7cJ-K0vvurg

I get a simple comma-delimited list of data. What I would like to do
is in my PHP script, request this URL and then put the return values
into an array. How do I do this?

For simple requests like that, you can just call:

$csv = file_get_contents('http://maps.google.com/maps/geo?
q=980+PEMART+AVE+PEEKSKILL,+NY+10566&output=csv
&key=ABQIAAAAuHEWowxYzDRtZwy5bJee6RRepaxJ09NBCcZ4ddHPnTvG1CBwlxTqGOXX0DHtp5WHcsP7cJ-K0vvurg');
