Hello List,

I made something work, but probably in the most crappy way possible.

My goal is to take just the HTML for the image and link from the
Flickr badge js script.

This is what I did, please help me do in a better way. I'd
appreciate good sources to read to learn to strip stuff away and just
get specific parts as well. I never know which of the str functions
to use.

<?
// allow retrieval of external web source
ini_set('allow_url_fopen',1);

// get flickr js file
$photo = file_get_contents("http://www.flickr.com/badge_code_v2.gne?
count=1&display=latest&size=m&layout=h&source=user&user=91667218%
40N00");

//get rid of all the crap except for the image tags
$photo = strstr($photo, '<a');
list($image, $trash) = explode("'", $photo);
$image = ereg_replace("</td>","", $image);
?>
