Get content of page in PHP

Permalink
I'm writing a little snippet for C5. I need to pull the content from a specific page and a specific content area into a variable and do a regex on it.

Can anyone provide an example to get me started? I'm looking at the API right now, but it's not easy.

Thanks!

Thanks, but that's more than I need. I'm still new to the C5 MVC and I'm trying to get the content of a page and avoid doing a direct query to the database.

The pop up block doesn't give me anything I need right now.

$a = new Area('Main');
$c = Page::getByID(56);
$regexMatchThis = $a->display($c);


so do your match on $regexMatchThis..

That didn't work as expected. When display is invoked, output is dumped to the browser regardless of the variable assignment. Also, I have an area called 'Main' on the page already and it doesn't display anything when I do this.

I would think that the Page object should have a method I need without using an Area.

Is that not so?

$fh = Loader::helper('file');
$nh = Loader::helper('navigation');
$content = $fh->getContents($nh->getCollectionURL($c));
?
that's from remo's cache package but that gives you the entire page's html

that's all i got ;)
