[RESOLVED] Help using strpos to find a text data in string from remote html

[tony007]

Hi all i am trying to use strpos( ..) function to find some data in string from a remote page using curl. My curl is working well since i used print $result; and the html page got loaded with in the script . But the scrip never be able to find the "This profile is set to private. " with the following html ( in remote page):

 <span id="ctl00_Main_ctl00_ctrlMessage">This profile is set to private. This user must add you as a friend to see his/her profile.</span>

I be happy if some one tell me what i am doing wrong.Thanks

curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_URL, 'http://www.myspace.com/' . $_POST['url']);
        curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_POST, 0);
        $result = curl_exec($curl);
        $headers = curl_getinfo($curl);
    
        if (strpos($result, 'This profile is set to private.'))
                {
                      echo "found";
                   
                }
                else
                {
                     echo "Not found";
                } 

part html:

 <span id="ctl00_Main_ctl00_ctrlMessage">This profile is set to private. This user must add you as a friend to see his/her profile.</span>

I fixed it by changing 'This profile is set to private.' to "This profile is set to private." :-)

They both look identical to me

I mean i had to add " instead of just ' around the searching string

Anyhow, you should be using the strict comparison operator when using strpos:

if (strpos($result, 'This profile is set to private.') !== false)
