Thanks, only 1 thing. The text changes all the time. And I need it to show whatever text is one the page at the given time. That would show the text that is on the page right now…but it wouldnt automatically show the new text correct?

#23

correct, i assume you are the owner of the given page?

#24

The text data given away is government information…which is ok to be used by anyone…Its off the NOAAPort server from Environment Canada. I run the website that will get the data though.

#25

right, i have a function to retrieves those information. i will be back in a couples hours.

Personal stuff time

#31

one more thing.

Replace the following line:
[php]
$str = substr($tester, 0, strpos($tester, ‘CLICK HERE TO GO TO PREVIOUS BULLETINS.’));
[/php]

with this line:
[php]
$str = substr($tester, 0, strpos($tester, ‘<A HREF=’));
[/php]
