... It was actually somewhat tricky to pick a title for this post, hope it was apt. Here goes:

You've probably seen them: Load the spoof site, enter a URL, submit and then have a spoofed site return based on whatever theme. Snoop-dogg, style, etc etc. With certain words/word groups replaced with others.

Basically:
I'm wondering how to pipe a simple html page into a template I've designed (while also having it replace certain words, etc). Server-side I'm running PHP/Apache... I have a feeling this is pretty easy to pull off, and perhaps there's some frameworks, etc I can modify?


Any help would be awesome - Sorry for the rambling! :cool:
 
Interesting, I really have no clue but hopefully someone can chime in here and help ya out!
 
Yeah... The one site I had in mind no longer exists: www.asksnoop.com

In any case, it's really just a matter of importing remote content and parsing it all out, so I'll get crackin' on that. If anyone finds an explicit example, tutorial or guide, please post it, however!


Many thanks!
 
I can't figure out what you mean by "pipe a page into a template" in this context. Can you please be more specific and articulate about your goals? If you were so worried about the title, and you think you've nailed that, I'm worried that you're trying to spoof sites--and it's hard for me to think that there's any honor in that goal.
 
I was worried about using the word spoof... My bad.

It's not that I'm trying to duplicate websites, just to comically spoof them. You may have seen these sites that take your URL and then render it back with, for instance, everything rendered in ebonics, or something similarly comical.

Has nobody seen these? :(
 
are you talking about something like the way google will let you change the language to elmer fudd, or pirate ect. and it automaticly will pasre to the intended 'language'? (dont have a clue how to do it, but figured it might give people a heads up as to what your looking for)
 
Great; now that we know what you want to do, it's important to learn where you want to do it. Would the code you write work on the server, or on the client? Are you trying to make a settable language for one specific website, or are you trying to do this work for an arbitrary website that the user selects?
