I'm a noob.

haha, with that in mind, I have a question. I want to extract a user's MySpace picture, using their Friend ID. A friend ID comes up at the end of a URL.

 

 

http://profile.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=user.viewProfile&friendID=6221

 

This has the friendID of "6221" (as I'm sure you can see). Now, if you follow that link, it will take you to a profile. I want to grab the image that he's using as his default picture.

 

The image is in this TD

 

<td class="text" width="75" bgcolor="#ffffff" height="75">
				    <a id="ctl00_cpMain_ctl01_UserBasicInformation1_hlDefaultImage" rel="searchMonkey-photo" href="http://viewmorepics.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=user.viewAlbums&friendID=6221">

				        <img border="0" alt="" src="http://b2.ac-images.myspacecdn.com/00000/20/52/2502_m.jpg" />
				    </a>
			    <td>

 

<img border="0" alt="" src="http://b2.ac-images.myspacecdn.com/00000/20/52/2502_m.jpg" />

 

How would I extract this image, if I only had the friendID? I need a script that will go to the page, and grab the image. Any suggestions?

If I'm not mistaken, myspace offers up access to things like that, for developers.  People generally use it to make apps like mafia wars or whatever, but it's there.  I'd go to myspace.com and look around for the developers section.
