microspective Posted July 10, 2008 Share Posted July 10, 2008 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?

microspective Posted July 10, 2008 Author Share Posted July 10, 2008 Oh, sorry! I respectfully thought PHP Help would be the spot to look. I'm new to this forum. Please let me know where I should have posted this.

DarkWater Posted July 10, 2008 Share Posted July 10, 2008 Your mistake was understandable, don't worry. I think you should have posted this under Freelance to have someone do it for you, because based on your post, you don't have much (or any) PHP knowledge because you've had to modify some other scripts. Either learn PHP or prepare to have to pay someone to do it.

DarkWater Posted July 10, 2008 Share Posted July 10, 2008 Thanks. A mod will lock this topic soon, I guess. =P Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/114147-page-portion-scrape-assistance-requested/#findComment-586776 Share on other sites More sharing options...
