I'm running the following steps in an attempt to clean-up a string which is obtained using $query_text_lower = file_get_contents(websiteURL).
What I want, is to return just words. No javascript, no random numbers, no CSS or any other kinds of scripts.
//remove javascript
$query_text_lower = preg_replace("/<script[^>]*>.*?< *script[^>]*>/i", "", $new_text);
//remove html tags
$query_text_lower2 = strip_tags($query_text_lower);
//removes any text containing links (may not be best, as some sites link useful words within the text. Does tend to remove a lot of ads though
$query_text_lower3 = preg_replace('/<a\s.*?>.*?<\/a>/s', '', $query_text_lower2);
//removes linebreaks
$query_text_lower4 = trim(preg_replace('/\s+/', ' ', $query_text_lower3));
echo $query_text_lower4;
die();
Here is an example of what I am outputting at the moment:
