Thanks a lot, Benjamin. That did the trick. Here's my test code.
<?php
header("content-type: text/html");
$staturl = '
http://127.0.0.1:4664/
status&s=EhWJ08sJtIsy_sZkCkr8Gx_PeIw';
if (!$fp = fopen($staturl,"r")) die("Can't read the status<p>");
while (!feof($fp)) {
$data = fgets($fp);
if (stristr($data, "searchable")) {
$items=trim(strip_tags(fgets($fp)));
$update=trim(strip_tags(fgets($fp)));
break;
}
}
print_r("items=$items update=$update<p>");
?>
