itisme Posted August 20, 2007 Share Posted August 20, 2007 I have been told that PHP w/ Curl would allow be to scape and parse information from another site.

trq Posted August 20, 2007 Share Posted August 20, 2007 Unless you need to login to get this information a simple call to file_get_contents will get you the file into a string. Then all you need do is parse the string using preg_match (or similar) to get the data you want.

itisme Posted August 20, 2007 Author Share Posted August 20, 2007 in other words, I can grab the whole page and then use regex to parse? Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/65819-php-curl-scrape-format/#findComment-328869 Share on other sites More sharing options...
