programguru Posted February 25, 2009 Share Posted February 25, 2009 Hello, Is it possible to "fetch" variable content details from an external website with php? For example, if I wanted to create a custom ebay log of my for-sale items with my own custom interface (I know I would probably not be able to alter the data) and on a different domain name. Is this possible with php? And if so, does anyone know the correct technical term for this and possible an example or tutorial you can link me up to? Thanks for any advice on this.

premiso Posted February 25, 2009 Share Posted February 25, 2009 Yep entirely possible. You should look into: curl As for the technical term: Web Fetching.
