Re: How do I pull out data from a mySQL DB...

Then debug it. For reference purposes, here's a tested example which extracts the word or phrase between "If you use" and ", you need this ebook".

$url = "http://www.artfulsoftware.com";;
$lines = file( $url );
$val = "Not found";
foreach( $lines as $l => $line ) {
$i = strpos( $line, "If you use" );
if( $i > 0 ) {
$j = strpos( $line, ", you need" );
$val = substr( $line, $i+10, $j-$i-10 );
break;
}
}
echo $val;
