I am having some trouble with the php script i'm writing (php newbie). The problem is that i have to write a preg_match_all array to a text file, and i need your help. Forgot to mention that the script that i'm writing is a alltheweb search results link scraper. Thanks in advance

Here is the code:

Code:
<?php
// get the HTML

$target_url = "http://alltheweb.com/search?advanced=1&cat=web&jsact=&_stype=norm&type=all&q=site%3Ayahoo.com&itag=crv&l=en&ics=utf-8&cs=iso88591&wf[n]=3&wf[0][r]=%2B&wf[0][q]=&wf[0][w]=&wf[1][r]=%2B&wf[1][q]=&wf[1][w]=&wf[2][r]=-&wf[2][q]=&wf[2][w]=&dincl=&dexcl=&geo=&doctype=&dfr[d]=1&dfr[m]=1&dfr[y]=1980&dto[d]=9&dto[m]=7&dto[y]=2008&hits=100";
$userAgent = 'Googlebot/2.1 (http://www.googlebot.com/bot.html)';

$ch = curl_init();
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_USERAGENT, $userAgent);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL,$target_url);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_FAILONERROR, true);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION, true);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_AUTOREFERER, true);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER,true);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_TIMEOUT, 30);
$html = curl_exec($ch);

// find the links
preg_match_all ('/<span class="resTitle"><a class="res" href="(.*?)" >(.*?)</a></span>/s', $html, $matches,PREG_SET_ORDER);

// print the links to the screen
foreach ($matches as $above) {

	$hyper = $above[0];
	echo $hyper;
	echo "<br/>";
	$scrlink = $above[1];
	echo $scrlink;
	echo "<br/>";
	$ancortexttext = $above[2];
	echo $ancortexttext;
	echo "<br/>";

	}

?>
 
Thanks for your help. Solved the problem
 
when you are usually scraping sites you dont tell everyone, why dont you show just the problem you are having and maybe there will be a solution
