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 Quote Link to comment 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.
