Curl - does not list the contents of wonder to me - php

Question

Could someone look at the script below, why do not list the contents of wonder ( < div > < / div > ) , even if the address is correct .
<?php
function get_content($url)
{
$ch = curl_init();
curl_setopt ($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $url);
curl_setopt ($ch, CURLOPT_HEADER, 0);
ob_start();
curl_exec ($ch);
curl_close ($ch);
$string = ob_get_contents();
ob_end_clean();
$divs = '/<div>(.+)<\/div>/U';
preg_match($divs, $string, $matches);
$vysledek = $matches[1];
var_dump($vysledek);
var_dump($url);
}
echo get_content ("http://www.azlyrics.com/lyrics/garthbrooks/midnightsun.html");
?>
var_dump me writes :
NULL
string ( 59 ) " http://www.azlyrics.com/lyrics/garthbrooks/midnightsun.html "
Earlier I used :
function ziskatlyrics($url)
{
$content = file_get_contents($url);
$first_step = explode( '<div>' , $content );
$second_step = explode("</div>" , $first_step[1] );
$obsah = strip_tags($second_step[0]);
return $obsah;
}
echo ziskatlyrics("http://www.azlyrics.com/lyrics/garthbrooks/midnightsun.html");
But it throws me this error:
Warning : file_get_contents (
http://www.azlyrics.com/...ightsun.html
) : Failed to open stream: HTTP request failed ! in
I can do something to make it functional again ?
Thank you for answer.

Answer 1

Because you're just var_dump()'ing variables, not the response from the curl request...
var_dump($vysledek);
var_dump($url);
What you want is to assign the curl response to a varaible and return that...
$response = curl_exec($ch);
return $response;
Well...after you've done the regex you're doing in there, as I assume your $string is empty.

Answer 2

I do not know if I'm so correctly:
function get_content($url)
{
$ch = curl_init();
curl_setopt ($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $url);
curl_setopt ($ch, CURLOPT_HEADER, 0);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_VERBOSE, true);
ob_start();
curl_exec ($ch);
curl_close ($ch);
$string = curl_exec ($ch);
ob_end_clean();
$divs = '/<div>(.+)<\/div>/U';
preg_match($divs, $string, $matches);
$vysledek = $matches[1];
return $vysledek;
}
echo get_content ('http://www.azlyrics.com/lyrics/garthbrooks/midnightsun.html');
And the result: link
