Liveblogging the 2013 State of the Union Address from the great Pacific Northwest

Hel­lo and wel­come to our live cov­er­age of the 2013 State of the Union Address! Patrick and I invite you to join us as we watch the Pres­i­den­t’s speech and react to it in real time with our com­men­tary and obser­va­tions. The White House has sent along the full text of Pres­i­dent Oba­ma’s remarks as pre­pared for deliv­ery, and it looks to us like a real­ly strong speech. We are tuned into C‑SPAN and await­ing the arrival of the Pres­i­dent, his Cab­i­net, and the jus­tices of the Supreme Court.

//unique text to deter­mine start goes here
$start = “Let us begin.”;

//insert end text here
$end = “More updates forthcoming…”;

$ch = curl_init();
curl_setopt ($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $url );
curl_setopt ($ch, CURLOPT_HEADER, 0);
curl_setopt ($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
$result = curl_exec ($ch) or die (“Sor­ry, could­n’t load live SOTU cov­er­age. Please refresh the page.”);

curl_close ($ch);

$start­po­si­tion = strpos($result,$start);

if($startposition > 0){

$end­po­si­tion = strpos($result,$end, $start­po­si­tion);

//add enough chars to include the tag

$end­po­si­tion += strlen($end);
$length = $endposition-$startposition;
$result = substr($result,$startposition,$length);
echo $result;

}else

echo “Sor­ry, there’s some­thing wrong here! Please refresh the page or try again later.”;
