Greetings fellow coders,
I'm looking for some help with screen scraping using PHP. I have a general understanding of very basic PHP screen scraping, but this job is eluding me. I'm very experienced in (X)HTML, CSS, and basic JavaScript. I've tried to modify a variety of PHP scripts available for scraping, but to no avail. The most successful I've been so far is display two scrapes of the entire page, on top of one another. I'm gotten very close, and this is driving batty!
Goal:
Extract a table from: http://www.airnow.gov/index.cfm?action=airnow.fcsummary&stateid=8
To put in this page: http://microspective.net/Client/oya/airquality/connecticut.php
The table appearing on this page is simply a placeholder. It does not have active scraping, but it accurately represents the portion of the table I'd like to scrape.
The designer from the previous Own Your Air site did it successfully. Here is an example:
http://www.ownyourair.org/Quality/connecticut.php
Unfortunately, I am unable to access the PHP script from the previous designer.
Can you please help?
