Re: Trying something new... point me in the right direction?

Well, I've made good progress digging around on my own...

PHP: Select all

<?php
$i 
0;
$text " ";
$lines file('http://www.surfline.com/surf-report/oceanside-pier-ns-southern-california_4241/');
foreach (
$lines as $line_num => $line)
{
    if (
strpos($line'CURRENT WEATHER') >= 1) {
            
$i++;
        } elseif (
strpos($line'SUNRISE/SET') >= 1) {
            
$i--;
        } elseif (
strpos($line'SURF:') >= 1) {
            
$i++;
        } elseif (
strpos($line'PM REGIONAL OVERVIEW:') >= 1) {
            
$i--;
    }

    if (
$i == 1) {
        
$notabs = array("\t""\n");
        
$text $text str_replace($notabs""strip_tags($line)) . " ";
    }
}
$nocr = array(" WIND: "" AIR/WATER: "" SURF: ");
$addcr = array("<br />\nWIND: ""<br />\nAIR/WATER: ""<br />\nSURF: ");
$text str_replace($nocr$addcr$text);
$text str_replace(" CURRENT WEATHER:""CURRENT WEATHER: "$text);
print 
$text;
?>
It may not be as elegant as it might be, but it's achieving the desired result...

Now for the part that scares me - text-to-image.
