I would like to automaclly get posts in a thread manually. Here's my design:
-Bot goes to topic, looking for posts
-He would search for a <a name="POSTIDHERE">, idenfity it and start the logging loop
-Firstly he searches for a field <span id="author"> and logs the content inside it
-Then he searches for a field <span id="content"> and logs the content of it
-Finally flush it into database (or do it when a step is completed)
-When all posts on the page are dealt, move to the next page
I don't have a problem with looping ATM, the place I am confused is the second step and the logging steps. How would I do them? In JavaScript there is something called getElementsById. I cannot find the same function in PHP.
Thanks!
