bamboooo Posted April 6, 2013 Share Posted April 6, 2013 Hi,I have something which i need some advice on how to get about it from great guys here in the phpfreaks forums. We have great people on this forum and i am happy to be a member of this great place.There is a company that that searches online manaully to book hotels; looking for restaurants , phamacies and many others. What this guys do is each time they have a someone travelling from abroad and they have to book the person a hotel, maybe a doctor or something else ; they will have to go online manually to search on google to get all those infos.I think this is very straneouse and time consuming. So i came up with an idea that i wish to build an application in PHP that when ever they need a doctor , hotel in any particular country they are in they just need to plug in hotell to the application i want to write and the application should be able to manually search all the possible hotels in that particular region with exact information.I am an African - West Africa -cameroon . The company is currently operating here in cameroon and most of the clients are from France and Europe.Please i need some advice on how to get along with this , thanks for your help in advance.Richard Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/276619-hi-i-need-some-help-here-ple/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
gizmola Posted April 6, 2013 Share Posted April 6, 2013 Sounds like you want to write a spider -- not an easy task. Typically people have used the curl library extension, however, there are now a number of really nice HTTP client libraries like Guzzle you can consider. http://guzzlephp.org/ is worth looking at.

gizmola Posted April 10, 2013 Share Posted April 10, 2013 I don't have anything more to add -- your question is extremely general. My suggestion is that you should read the guzzle php documentation, install it, and write a script that queries one of the sites you mentioned, and try to display the results in a table.
