Hey! Cheers for the reply! Well, I am not entirely sure how I would get any data to be honest, the prices and whichever other data would come from the retailers websites... Far as I know, regarding the stock part is the script perhaps looks for the common words a retailer would use to describe or show thier product was in stock, so the script can pick that out. Far as anytihng else I really just need suggestions as to how this script would go together to do what I need it to do, I dont have any php knowledge so pretty much dont have a clue. I have been doing research trying to find similiar scripts available online so that I can study them. I would then understand them once I have learnt some php ( I am currently working through a beginners PHP book) Cheers!

I am looking for some advice on how I would go about creating a script does checks stock from popular online retailers, and also pulls in the price and then arranges them from cheapest to most expensive, you probably will know what I mean, There are plenty websites online already that do this, but something I want to achieve is on a smaller scale and just for one product, reason being is that its for a university project of mine and I just need something smaller to focus on, the basics of such a script really. I am learning PHP from the ground up, so keeping it simple is best. Sites like http://www.wii-consoles.co.uk/ and http://www.cheapest-in-stock.com/ I have seen various scripts I could by online, however as this is for a project, I need to create it myself from the ground up, though working from an example would be good, I'm wondering if anyone here could give me a few tips as to what such a script requires, and what I am likely to have to learn. I look forwards to your replies! Thx wadet
