preg_match problems...

[SessTehKing]

<?php
$sess = file_get_contents("http://www.test.com/")

if(preg_match("/Test/i", $sess)){
 echo "Found.";
} else {
 echo "Not found.";
}
?>

Is it because I can't file_get_contents from outside websites or something? Or is there something else wrong...

Is it because I can't file_get_contents from outside websites or something?

I'd say it is...
An error would be outputted if it was. Is there a php error?

[SessTehKing]

No. That's why I'm skeptical. It simply says "Not found" no matter what.

<?php
$sess = file_get_contents("http://www.test.com/")

if(preg_match("/Test/i", $sess)){
 echo "Found.";
} else {
 echo "Not found.";
}
?>

is looking for "Test" case-insensitive inside the actual contents of the url, not the url itself. A good way to find out what the string that is being passed I suggest that you print it out after, which is a good debugging tool.

echo $sess

There's no error, it's just that test wasn't found.
You may want to try a global regex though:

/Test/gi

Well "test" wasn't what I used, what I used WAS found in the contents.

And, I tried that in a link...it linked to the page the PHP was located on.

Well "test" wasn't what I used, what I used WAS found in the contents.

but did you print out the contents to of where-ever you sent it to, because for some reason its not finding it.

<?php
$sess = file_get_contents("http://www.test.com/")

echo $sess;

if(preg_match("/Test/i", $sess)){
 echo "Found.";
} else {
 echo "Not found.";
}
?>

do that to find out what is actually being passed then you will know where the problem resides
