file_get_contents script works with some websites but not others

Question

I\'m looking to build a PHP script that parses HTML for particular tags. I\'ve been using this code block, adapted from this tutorial:

Answer 1

Another option: Some hosts disable CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION so recursive is what you want, also will log into a text file any errors. Also a simple example of how to use DOMDocument() to extract the content, obviously its not extensive but something you could build appon.

$eline){$oline.='['.$key.']'.$eline.' ';}
    $line =$oline." \r\n ".$url."\r\n-----------------\r\n";
    $handle = @fopen('./curl.error.log', 'a');
    fwrite($handle, $line);
    return FALSE;
}
return $html;
}


function get_content_tags($source,$tag,$id=null,$value=null){
    $xml = new DOMDocument();
    @$xml->loadHTML($source);

    foreach($xml->getElementsByTagName($tag) as $tags) {
        if($id!=null){
            if($tags->getAttribute($id)==$value){
                return $tags->getAttribute('content');
            }
        }
        return $tags->nodeValue;
    }
}


$source = file_get_site('http://www.freshdirect.com/about/index.jsp');

echo get_content_tags($source,'title'); //FreshDirect

echo get_content_tags($source,'meta','name','description'); //Online grocer providing high quality fresh......
