When I try to get this code working, a blank page is returned (i.e. no info between the body tags).

The amazon information that is used in this example no longer works as Amazon have changed the format. Could please provide an example that works. Its a deadly bit of code if it works. Thanks you John L

The script works if..

 

Just take another look at the tutorial and the new page

Or change it to what I have here.

preg_match("/<b>Amazon.com\sSales\sRank:<\/b>\s(.*)\s/i",$file,$match);
