Hi,

i still have develope some shortcodes until now. But yet i have a little bit different request from our sports community page.

We need a shortcode to extract some DIV (or table) from a external Page.
Not just a IFRAME include!

So i need a Shortcode which starts a external (i think) php script. This exernal script receives the Page an parses the content (e.g. curl or simplehtmldom PHP Modul).

I need some hint to understand the possibilty to start a external script and gets the output of the script into the shourcode "return".

Live-example:
How can i extract the "DIV id="groupTableDiv" from
http://www.btv.de/BTVToServe/abaxx-?$part=theLeague.content.theLeaguePublic&championship=Mittelfranken%2015&tab=1&l1=2&l2=1&l3=3&l4=4&theLeaguePage=groupPage&group=007

and include the content of the DIV id="groupTableDiv" into some Page with a Shortcode?

Many thanks.

Regards,
Thomas
