PHP XML Parsing Problem for Alexa Rank - GoFuckYourself.com

nmcog · 03-27-2005, 10:17 PM

I'm trying to create a small PHP script that reads an XML file and extracts the value of an attribute (if that makes sense)

Example:

XML file: http://data.alexa.com/data?cli=10&da...ckyourself.com

The part I'm looking for is this one: <REACH RANK="4582"/>

The script is supposed to output "4582" but nothing is working and its 6:17am

Please

If you only want that one part there is not need to really parse the XML..

PHP Code:


			
$data    = file_get_contents("http://data.alexa.com/data?cli=10&dat=snbamz&url=www.gofuckyourself.com");



ereg("REACH RANK=\"([0-9]+)",$data,$regs);



echo $regs[1];

replace hahaha91; with [

that should do it..
