Using PHP to log into another website and use their search.

Not always possible if they check same domains or js redirects trying to prevent that.

 

Some websites want to force users to use their own site directly.

 

As for extracting the data, it's frowned upon and should get their permission or see if they have a feed or an api.

Thank you guys for your response. 

 

The data extracted is just product results page from my suppliers; I'm creating one page to search all my suppliers to see who supplies the part number I'm looking for to save my having to try the same part number on each website. 

 

Unfortunately these websites aren't the most advance so will not have an API.

 

I will ask permission before extracting any results from the search. :)
