Parse Web Page content using PHP

Question

I think it's simple question but I've done what I know and still not work. I want get output from this link :

http://api.microsofttranslator.com/V2/Ajax.svc/Translate?text=siapa+rektor+ipb&appId=58C40548A812ED699C35664525D8A8104D3006D2&from=id&to=en

You can paste on the browser and look into it. There some text output. I've tried with some function in PHP like file_get_contents and curl. I'm not using ajax or JavaScript because I'm not expert with it. And the last, I'm working with XAMPP.

Was it helpful?

Solution 

$url = 'http://api.microsofttranslator.com/V2/Ajax.svc/Translate?text=siapa+rektor+ipb&appId=58C40548A812ED699C35664525D8A8104D3006D2&from=id&to=en';

// using file_get_contents function
$content = file_get_contents($url);
echo $content;
#output# "who is the Rector of the University"

// using file function // read line by line in array
$content = file($url);
print_r($content);

#output# Array (0] => "who is the Rector of the University")

// using cURL
$ch = curl_init($url);  
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HEADER, 0);  
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);  
$content = curl_exec($ch);
echo $content;
#output# "who is the Rector of the University"

$op=file_get_contents('http://api.microsofttranslator.com/V2/Ajax.svc/Translate?text=siapa+rektor+ipb&appId=58C40548A812ED699C35664525D8A8104D3006D2&from=id&to=en');

<?php
$url = 'http://api.microsofttranslator.com/V2/Ajax.svc/Translate?text=siapa+rektor+ipb&appId=58C40548A812ED699C35664525D8A8104D3006D2&from=id&to=en';
$op=file_get_contents($url);
