Simple Scraper... Weird Output

Posted on 16th Feb 2014 07:03 pm by admin

Okay, maybe I just need a Blue Monster and some sleep, but....

I'm scraping a ringtone site just so that I can download all of the ringtones and add them to my personal library.

The website's code that I am targeting is:
Code: [Select]<tr><td><a href="/ringtone/527783/"><img src="/img/icon/ringt.jpg" border=0>Jackson 5 - Who's Loving You </a> </td><td align=center><a href="/ringtones/classical/" class=cat_link>Classical</a></td><td align=center><img src="/img/rating/star0.gif" border=0></td><td align="right" class=smgrey2>5 months ago</td><td align="center" class=smgrey2><span class="b">13895</span></td><td align="right"><span class="b"><a href="/profile/stambaugh01">stambaugh01</a></span></td></tr>

I would like for it to output the actual filename which in this case would be 527783. I would also like for it to output the title of the file.

There are about 50 or so listings per page, and would like for it to automatically go to the next page to scrape.

Here is my code:
Code: [Select]<?
$data = @file_get_contents("http://www.XXXXXXXXXXXX.com/ringtones/classical/");

preg_match_all('/href="/ringtone/.*?<img src="/img/icon/ringt.jpg" border=0>([^"]*).*?/"><img src="/img/icon/.*?border=0>([^"]*)</td><td align=center>/is',$data,$out);
// preg_match_all('/href="/ringtone/.*?<img src="/img/icon/ringt.jpg" border=0>([^"]*).*?/"><img src="/img/icon/.*?border=0>([^"]*)</td><td align=center>/is',$data,$out);
if ((isset($out[1]) && isset($out[2])) === FALSE) { // Let's do some error checking to see if there is data to insert into the database. If not let's end the script
break;
}
$d = array_combine($out[1], $out[2]);
// End Error Checking
foreach($d as $k=>$v){
echo $k . " --- " . $v . "
";
}
?>

The output is skipping and only outputting the title of every other row, but now directory name.

Thanks in advance for the help.
