I have a web site that I'm trying to use sockets to
I want to make a random quote script
that takes quotes from my web site
and randomly picks one and displays it on channel

here is the URL
Random Quote Page

Here Is how the Code Goes
Code:
 <html>

<head>
<meta name="GENERATOR" content="Microsoft FrontPage 5.0">
<meta name="ProgId" content="FrontPage.Editor.Document">
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=windows-1252">
<link REL="SHORTCUT ICON" HREF="http://www.phministries.net/icon.ico">
<title>::::PH-Ministry:::PHMinistries:::To Minister In The Heart Of Worship:::PHM-Network:::</title>
</head>
<tr><td> 1 . &nbsp <tr><td> 05/31/04 Said &nbsp <tr><td> Christopher Said &nbsp <tr><td> [23:09] <Kaatje> shrugs [23:09] <Kaatje> i love snakes [23:09] <Kaatje> i cant wait eat 1 <br> <tr><td> 2 . &nbsp <tr><td> 05/31/04 Said &nbsp <tr><td> Christopher Said &nbsp <tr><td> my brother started teasing me about jimmy the other day, so I started to sing, oh how I love jesus, and my brother confused me, and I sang "Oh how I love jimmy instead :/  <br> </body>

</html>

First of all, the html code is not good. Why do you have all those <tr> and <td>, there is no <table> ? Then, you should read a tutorial on the cookies (you won't need to read the HTTP protocol as there is a lot of example on how to get a web page). Also, to facilitate the search, you could modify your code so it could be like this:
Code:
&lt;!-- quote start --&gt;
1. Here is the first quote&lt;br&gt;Blah...&lt;br&gt;one quote is on one line
2. Another quote, another line&lt;br&gt;just an example
&lt;!-- quote end --&gt;

So you can know where the quotes exactly are, and you just have to take a random line as one quote is one line for example. It's just some hints, as I don't want (neither I have the time) to code it for you, everyone should learn a little smirk
Good luck.

This code will request a quote and display it in the Status window.
Of course, you can change echo %s to a different command which
will post %s to the place you want it to appear.

alias showquote sockopen q www[/i].phministries.net 80
On *:sockopen:q:{
if $sockerr {
echo -s - Error: couldn't contact website.
return
}
var %s = sockwrite -tn q
%s GET /members/admin/blankquotes.php HTTP/1.0
%s Host: www[/i].phministries.net
%s
}
On *:sockread:q:{
var %s
sockread %s
if Quote * iswm %s {
echo -s - %s
sockclose q
}
}
On *:sockclose:q:{
echo -s - Error: couldn't fetch quote.
}

Paste in the remote and type /showquote

Yes, that line is what you need to edit, but what did you change it do?

Keep in mind that neither # nor $chan will work, because they do not exist in the sockread event.

You will need to specify an explicit target. For example, /msg #chatworld %s

Edit your PHP file so that there's a line break (\n) before the closing </body> tag.

You're welcome laugh

And remember, the script identifies the quote line by its first word, "Quote ..."

If you wish to change that word in your HTML output, you will need to edit the script condition too:

if Quote * iswm %s {
<display quote>
}

(* is a wildcard which matches the rest of the line)
