Get contents and write in the same PHP file...

[Badchip]

I want to get the url from another site and put it in my php. Something like this:

$url = file_get_contents('http://...');
$url = get_string_between($url, 'http://...', '"');

$fopen($url, 'w');
fwrite($url);
fclose()

header("Location: http://result.here");

If it is not possible, what other alternative do I have?

You haven't explained your problem well.

I want to obtain a URL of a website (it's inside the HTML) and add the URL in the same PHP.

OK, then in a vague sense the code you wrote would basically be how to do that, assuming that get_string_between function works.  There's not a built-in function with that name.  There's no reason to use fopen, fwrite, and fclose though.

I think it's almost done. Now I need to skip the 'fopen' and 'fwrite' lines if there are no results between '"file": "http://', '"'); 

$url = file_get_contents('http://web.com');
$url = get_string_between($url, '"file": "http://', '"');

$file = fopen("web_url.txt", "w");
fwrite($file, $url);

$file = file_get_contents('web_url.txt');

header("Location: http://$file");

Any idea?

You can use file_put_contents instead of those other functions, first off.  I don't know what you're asking though.  If your content wasn't found, wouldn't you just use an if statement to check that and write to the file if your condition is satisfied?

I have solved it. Thank you.

$url = file_get_contents('http://web.com');
$url = get_string_between($url, '"file": "http://', '"');
if (empty($url)) $url = file_get_contents('web_url.txt');
else file_put_contents('web_url.txt', $url);
header("Location: http://$url");
