Weered Posted May 21, 2009 Share Posted May 21, 2009 Hi Guys, Brand new to the site. I am scouring the net for an answer to a question regarding a concept I would like to integrate into my site. Basically it is a University/Student community with various perks (http://campushalifax.com not exactly live yet). One of which that I would like to have is a consolidated classifieds search directory that compiles all the listings from the various school classifieds directories local to eastern Canada (done with permission of course). So, is there a way to write some sort of PHP code to periodically (Say a freq of 30 min), scan and compile these remote pages and then add them to a searchable directory on my site? Odd question I know, but as an amature developer I am clueless to whether or not this is even possible. Thanks, Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/159099-can-this-be-done/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
