Php Url Variable Help

[ApocalypeX]

Using the "PHP Simple HTML DOM Parser" - PHP Simple HTML DOM ParserI'm learning PHP and I wanted to write a page that gets text from a certain webpage and prints it.Now when I write this:

<?phpinclude('simple_html_dom.php');$html = file_get_html('http://www.bungie.net/Account/Profile.aspx?memberID=1');foreach($html->find('span#ctl00_mainContent_header_lblUsername') as $e) print $e->innertext . '<br>';?>

It works perfectly displaying what I want it to.But when I to make the URL a variable it fails:

<?phpinclude('simple_html_dom.php');$theurl = "'http://www.bungie.net/Account/Profile.aspx?memberID=1'";$html = file_get_html($theurl);foreach($html->find('span#ctl00_mainContent_header_lblUsername') as $e) print $e->innertext . '<br>';?>

Anyone know a way around this?

Nope doesn't work. Any other ideas?

I think you can echo the variable $theurl and check whether it prints the URL properly... -Veen

Veen's first response was correct, you shouldn't have the single quotes inside double quotes like that (or else it will try to find 'http:// ... ID=1' instead of http:// ... ID=1). What does your code look like now?
