Hello everyone, I am working on converting a site from ASP to PHP and I was wondering if their where any built in functions to perform screen scraping. In ASP, the XML DOM is most commonly used to accomplish this. I am thinking that there should be something to get the task done in PHP but I cant even find the correct keywords to use to search for anything like this. Anyone got some advice on what to search by or maybe a link to get some more information?? Thanks! Ben
The XML DOM stuff isn't as mature in PHP yet, last I checked (unfortunate, because we were hoping it would have been at that point). How complex are you trying to get? Could you explain the goal a bit more?
