Clay Trainor Posted March 17, 2007 Share Posted March 17, 2007 I've just been told about something called web scraping where you can extract data from remote websites, and use it on your own. I was wondering if it's possible to do this with php, with images. i.e. IF i have a variable for movies in my url "movies=Borat" the code would somehow search a site like google images for example and pull up an image of borat and put it on my site. Is this possible? if so, where should i start reading into it? thanks alot.
