This you can also put in youre php page orcourse


<html>
<head>
<!-- Begin
function viewSource() {
document.getSource.view.value="Please wait!";
setTimeout("document.getSource.view.value='View Source!'",6000);
window.location.href= "view-source:" + document.getSource.url.value;
return false;
}
//  End -->
</script>
</HEAD>

<!-- put this within youre <body> -->

<BODY>

<center>
Type in a full URL and click "View Source"
<br>
<br>
<form name=getSource onSubmit="return viewSource();">
<input type=text name=url value="http://">
<br>
<br>
<input type=submit name=view value="View Source">
</form>
</center>
</body>

Well realistically I am looking for a way to be able to call a PHP script that will echo back the HTML of a page on my server so I can view it and update it. So maybe I should have been more specific…also, btw I couldn’t get that script to work. You can check it out http://www.simplifiedsoftware.org/test.php it does nothing and I cut and pasted your code :frowning:

Sorry…


<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript">

Add that before
<-- Begin

put it into php file:

<?php show_source(basename($_GET['url'])); ?>

and use it like

file.php?url=www.kirupa.com

:slight_smile:

Signifer, that won’t work because it’ll show the HTML generated by the PHP script and not the actual PHP script.

Actually guys…I had to go to this code.


function ShowSourceXML($filename="",$wrap=true) {
 if (file_exists($filename)) {
 
	 ob_start();
	 show_source( $filename );
	 $t = ob_get_contents();
	 ob_end_clean();
  
	 $source=explode("<br />",$t);
	 $counter=1;
	 $final = '<?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1"?><source>';
		foreach ($source as $line) {
			$final .= "<line lineNum='".$counter++."'><![CDATA[$line]]></line>";
		}  
	 $final .= "</source>";
  echo $final;
  
 } else {
  echo false;
 }
}

That returns the sites HTML or PHP or XML data…in XML form…its sweeet. It is moded code from a site I found…It returned it as a HTML page with each line numbered…so I just changed a few things…thanks for all the help though!
