theres no sure way to get it from the html?
im using get_file_contents to get the profile page at "http://www.gaiaonline.com/p/username"
i know v2 profiles its always hooked to the username in the top right corner,
but how about v1 profiles?
also i do already have the getstringbetween function
This is a random person's page. They have a V2 profile. That bar at the top has their name and a link to their profile.Code:<div id="gaia_header">
<ul id="header_left">

<li><a href="/"><img src="http://s.cdn.gaiaonline.com/images/profile/mini_gaialogo.gif" width="47" height="23" alt="Gaia"/></a></li>
