    Hi everyone. i'm trying to get the download count from Bukkitdev into a php variable. is this possible? if so, how do I do it?

    thanks

    Never mind, I figured it out...

    PHP:
    function getDownloads($slug) {
            $matches = array();
       
            $str = file_get_contents("http://dev.bukkit.org/bukkit-mods/$slug");
       
            $start = "<dd><span data-value=\"";
            $end = "\">";
       
            $regex = "/$start([a-zA-Z0-9_]*)$end/";
            preg_match_all($regex, $str, $matches);
       
            $array = $matches[1];
        return     $array[0];
    }

    Thanks, you saved me a lot of trouble! Most people don't bother to post the answer if they solve it themselves, so thanks!
