How to get info from another website and post it on mine?

[Mr_Travis_L]

Hello, I am new to PHP and am trying to learn how to do something.

Here is what I am trying to do:

I am trying to make a form (HTML form, I know how to do that already), when someone types a name in the form. It will post that name at the end of the url, and get the information from the url.

Here is an example:

I type in “Mr Travis L” (no quotes) in a HTML Text Field. After I do that, it will put the “Mr Travis L” to the end of this url: http://hiscore.runescape.com/index_lite.ws?player=

So it would now be: http://hiscore.runescape.com/index_lite.ws?player=Mr Travis L

After it does that, I want it to get the information (the numbers) from that url, and post it on my website.
How would I do that!? I have tried everything I could think of but nothing works!

Please if anyone could help me it would be so much help!
I am also sorry if this is in the wrong forum section

Hi, and welcome to our forum.

Here is how you can do this. Let’s combine your HTML form with PHP script:

[php]

<?php $username = urldecode($_POST["username"]); $info = ''; if($username!=''){ $info = implode('',file('http://hiscore.runescape.com/index_lite.ws?player='.urlencode($username))); } ?> Enter user name: <?php if($info!=''){ echo '

Results for '.htmlspecialchars($username).'

---

'; echo '

'.$info.'

'; } ?> [/php]
