Question

IMDB must have changed something - your script no longer returns any results.

Opened this issue 7 years ago · 6 comments

I have been using your script successfully for some time, but this week IMDB must have made a change to their html because your script does not return any results. Even your demo fails now.

Is there any possibility you could establish what has changed and hopefully fix it?

Boring to rewrite the regexp rules :P Thanks for this projekt!

There may be some useful REGEXs here:

My knowledge of PHP is not good enough to try to fix this problem.

Also this a fork of Abhinay's original, which has been amended and seems to work:

I highly recommend to use https://github.com/FabianBeiner/PHP-IMDB-Grabber instead of forked one because many options still either missing or wrong.
