i want to create a search for another web page because they have a huge amount of info and i dont want to sort through it to find what i want. I cant search the database since i dont have access. Is there anyway to do this? A person i know made a search of the php manual. hge said you have to make an index file like his for the manual [url]http://shady.mytwinports.com/manual.search/manual.index.[/url] How would i go about doing this.

@ConorauthorMar 18.2004 — is this possible. would i use something like file_get _contents or would i have to write a script that crawls the site and gets everything?

@ConorauthorMar 18.2004 — so ive decided to use file_get_contents and then get rid of the html with this

$resultStripped = preg_replace("#<[^>]+>#is", "", $result);

now i need to tryt and right a script that goes through every page of the site and writes it to a file.

I figure it would use a loop to go through every page on the site until its done. How would i get it to click the links?

$resultStripped = preg_replace("#<[^>]+>#is", "", $result);[/B][/QUOTE]
Note, this will also leave things such as style tags and script tags as page content...
