How to only get title information from a website

Hi!

I'd need to extract the information inbetween the <title></title> Tags
of quite a lot of webpages. Currently I'm fetching the pages with curl
and extract the titles with preg_match.

That's quite nice, and it's working, but on the other hand much more
data is transfered (the whole body of the webpages) than needed.

Can anyone of you give me a hint if and how it's possible to just
request the header of a webpage? I'm fine with a RTFM if you can point
me to the FM I should R.

Thanks in advance for your help,

Andreas

check into fopen() and fread() on www.php.net

Hi Andrea,

Norman answered you fine.

Maybe this also helps:

<?php
// get contents of a url into a string
$filename =3D "http://www.someurl.com";

$handle =3D fopen($filename, "r");

$contents =3D '';
while (!feof($handle)) {
$contents .=3D fread($handle, 8192);
}

fclose($handle);

print "Content of " . $filename . ":<p>" . $contents;
?>

Regards
