cURL help

[supermerc]

Hi,

 

Im trying to make a script that will go to a site using cURL and go to a page where it shows things like:

 

TehFreak  Deposited Kitty Thong (7821341)  01/07/2009

TehFreak Deposited Augment (7821383) 01/07/2009

TehFreak Deposited Booty Shorts (7795327) 01/07/2009

almightywoodygod Deposited Kilt (7786725) 01/07/2009

MASTAPLAYA Awarded Leg Guards of Silent Death (7582935) to TehFreak 01/06/2009

MASTAPLAYA Awarded Leg Guards of Silent Death (7714246) to TehFreak 01/06/2009

BoneThugz Awarded Infernal Protectorate (7714002) to Popstarmike 01/06/2009

BoneThugz Deposited Precision Glove of Champions (7775332) 01/06/2009

BoneThugz Deposited Precision Glove of Champions (7666483) 01/06/2009

 

etc..

 

What I want my script to add everything in that page that havent already added to database.

 

For example for each line I want the thing to go in seperate categories, like in

 

BoneThugz Deposited Precision Glove of Champions (7666483) 01/06/2009

 

BoneThugz would go in the field name, Deposited would be in the field action, Precision Glove of Champions would go in the field item, 7666483 would go in the field id, and 01/06/2009 would be date.

 

Does anyone know how to do that or guide me or anything? Would be greatly appreciated.

can u modify the format that that information comes to you?

If you could get that into something like a CSV file, you could find 100+ tutorials or atleast your data may be easier to manage.

Something like

"TehFreak";"Deposited";"Kitty Thong (7821341)";"01/07/2009"
"TehFreak";"Deposited";"Augment (7821383)";"01/07/2009"

Nope I cant modify the format :S

Assuming the first word in the second returned column is the action:

<?php 
$Text = "
TehFreak     Deposited Kitty Thong (7821341)     01/07/2009
TehFreak    Deposited Augment (7821383)    01/07/2009
TehFreak    Deposited Booty Shorts (7795327)    01/07/2009
almightywoodygod    Deposited Kilt (7786725)    01/07/2009
MASTAPLAYA    Awarded Leg Guards of Silent Death (7582935) to TehFreak    01/06/2009
MASTAPLAYA    Awarded Leg Guards of Silent Death (7714246) to TehFreak    01/06/2009
BoneThugz    Awarded Infernal Protectorate (7714002) to Popstarmike    01/06/2009
BoneThugz    Deposited Precision Glove of Champions (7775332)    01/06/2009
BoneThugz    Deposited Precision Glove of Champions (7666483)    01/06/2009";
$Text = str_replace("    ", "   ", $Text);
$Lines = explode("\n", $Text);
$i=0;
foreach($Lines as $Line){
$Column = explode("   ", $Line);
$Name = trim($Column[0]);
	$List = explode(" ", trim($Column[1]), 2);
$Action = trim($List[0]);
$What = trim($List[1]);
$Date = trim($Column[2]);
echo $Name." - ".$Action." - ".$What." - ".$Date."<br />";
}
?>
That will give you the different pieces (which I have being echoed out for testing reasons)
