script times out why??

[peanuts]

Hi all ...

i have a script i want to use to get one line from a table (from a different page)

the line should have a specific word in it ...

this is what I got so far:

$trigger = 'myname';
$stop = 0;
while ($start = strpos($code, '<TR', $stop))
  {
   
   $stop = strpos($code, '</TR', $start)+5;  //this is the line it times out on!!! 
   $tmp = strpos($code, $trigger, $start);
   if($tmp > $start && $tmp < $stop)
   {
    $length= $stop-$start; 
    $line .= Substr($code, $start, $length); 
   }
  }
  if($line == '')
  {
   $line = $trigger.' wasn't there sorry!';
  } 

Any thoughts???

thanks !
